Prognostic factors for survival in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients with a complete regression of the primary tumor (ypT0) after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) followed by surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There are also differences in survival prognosis among esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients with a complete regression of the primary tumor (ypT0) after Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) followed by surgery. And the purpose of this study was to investigate influencing factors from these different prognostic outcomes and their possible causes.

Methods

The clinical data of 88 cases of ESCC patients with ypT0 after NCRT followed by surgery between 2011 and 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical and pathological prognostic factors that affect the survival were analyzed.

Results

Sex, number of lymph nodes dissected, and pathologic positivity of lymph nodes may be significant in univariate analysis (P<0.1). Further multivariate analysis
