A Model Shows Utility in Predicting Postoperative Recurrence and Distant Metastasis in Curatively Resected Esophageal Squamous Cell Cancer.

ABSTRACT: After curative treatment of esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC), patients are at high risk for recurrence. The objective of this study was to develop an index with a high sensitivity and specificity to predict ESCC patients' recurrence and prognosis. A retrospective analysis was conducted on consecutive patients with EC who underwent esophagectomy. In total, 1417 patients were included in the current investigation. In total, 770 patients were included in the current study's exploratory group. Alcohol consumption, TNM classification, number of lymph node station metastases, and number of lymph node metastases were significantly correlated with recurrence. Multivariate logistical regression analysis resulted in the development of an equation for predicting recurrence and prognosis (REEC).
