Prognostic Impact of Pretreatment Serum CYFRA Status in 1047 Patients with Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Who Underwent Radical Resection: A Japan Esophageal Society Promotion Research.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The prognostic significance of pretreatment serum C-terminus of cytokeratin 19 (CYFRA21-1, CYFRA) status was evaluated in the patients with surgically treated esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Methods

A total of 1047 patients with surgically treated esophageal cancer were enrolled in a multi-institutional study promoted by the Japanese Esophageal Society. This study included an up-front surgery group (n = 412), a neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) group (n = 486), and a neoadjuvant chemoradiation/radiation therapy (NACRT/RT) group (n = 149). The pretreatment CYFRA status was analyzed to assess prognostic significance using multivariate analysis according to treatment modalities.

Results

The CYFRA-positive group was significantly associated with deep tumor. Univa
