Abstract Background Second primary head and neck cancers after endoscopic resection of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma adversely affect patients’ outcomes and the quality of life; however, an adequate surveillance schedule remains unclear. Methods We analyzed 330 patients with early esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who underwent endoscopic resection and were registered in the multicenter cohort study to evaluate adequate surveillance for detection of second primary head and neck cancers. Gastrointestinal endoscopists examined the head and neck regions after 3–6 months of endoscopic resection for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and subsequently every 6 months. An otolaryngologist also examined the head and neck regions at the time of endoscopic resection for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and at 12 months intervals thereafter. Results During the median follow-up period of 49.4 months (1.3–81.2 months), 33 second primary head and neck cancers were newly detected in 20 patients (6%). The tumor site was as follows: 22 lesions in the hypopharynx, eight lesions in the oropharynx, two lesions in larynx and one lesion in the oral cavity. The 2-year cumulative incidence rate of second primary head and neck cancers was 3.7%. Among them, 17 patients with 29 lesions were treated by transoral surgery. One patient with two synchronous lesions was treated by radiotherapy. Two lesions in two patients were not detected after biopsy. All patients were cured with preserved laryngeal function. Conclusions Surveillance by gastrointestinal endoscopy every 6 months and surveillance by an otolaryngologist every 12 months could detect second primary head and neck cancers at an early stage, thereby facilitating minimally invasive treatment.

4565 Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is associated with synchronous or metachronous cancer at other primary sites. Previous studies have suggested that patients (pts) with ESCC are still at a high risk of second primary malignancies after definitive therapies. In particular, early-stage ESCCs result in good prognosis, which is associated with a higher risk of second primary malignancies. Methods: The JCOG0502 was a phase III trial, which included a randomized and a non-randomized part and compared esophagectomy with definitive chemoradiotherapy in clinical T1bN0 ESCC. We additionally reviewed data of all pts enrolled in the JCOG0502 for second primary malignancies. Lugol-voiding lesions (LVLs) were assessed in the noncancerous esophageal mucosa before the treatments. Results: Among 379 enrolled pts, 213 pts received esophagectomy and the remaining received chemoradiotherapy. Patient characteristics of overall cohort were as follows: male, 85%; median age, 63 (range, 41–75) years; upper- /middle- /lower thoracic esophagus, 11/63/27%; alcohol consumption history, 79%; smoking history, 66%; prevalence of no LVLs/several LVLs/many LVLs/unknown, 45/36/8/11%. With a median follow-up of 7.1 years, a total of 118 second malignancies were observed in 99 pts (26%). Cumulative incidences of second malignancies after 3, 5, 10 years were 9, 15, 36%, respectively. Most common primary tumor sites were head and neck (35%), followed by stomach (20%) and lung (14%). In multivariable analyses, several LVLs [hazard ratio (HR): 2.24, 95% confidential interval (CI): 1.32–3.81, vs. no LVLs] and many LVLs (HR: 2.88, 95% CI: 1.27–6.52, vs. no LVLs) were significantly associated with the development of second malignancies. Regarding the three most common types of cancers, 62 out of the 77 cancers (81%) were diagnosed in clinical stage 0–I. Seventeen pts died due to second primary malignancies. There were 4 and 3 deaths from head and neck and lung cancer, respectively. Whereas, mortality caused by stomach cancer was not observed. Conclusions: In the JCOG0502, the incidence of second malignancies was high, indicating that careful follow-up is required for ESCC pts even after treatment completion. The presence of LVLs in esophagus was identified as an independent predictive factor for second primary malignancies, which may be useful for surveillance strategies.

Latar belakang: Karsinoma sel skuamosa kepala dan leher merupakan salah satu kanker terseringdi seluruh dunia. Pendekatan pengobatan agresif dan multidisiplin telah dilakukan, namun belum adapeningkatan yang signifikan dalam kelangsungan hidup 5 tahun, selama 20 tahun terakhir. Kegagalanpengobatan terjadi dalam bentuk kekambuhan lokoregional, metastasis jauh, dan/atau tumor primer kedua.Berbagai penanda molekular tumor telah diteliti untuk mengetahui potensinya dalam memprediksi hasilpenyakit atau respon terhadap terapi.Tujuan: Mengetahui hubungan ekspresi protein p53, Bcl-2, c-Myc,dan MMP-9 berdasarkan gambaran klinikopatologis karsinoma sel skuamosa kepala dan leher di RumahSakit dr. Zainoel Abidin.Metode: Studi menggunakan desain cross sectional. Sampel terdiri dari 60blok parafin karsinoma sel skuamosa kepala dan leher. Prosedur pewarnaan imunohistokimia dilakukandengan menggunakan antibodi monoklonal terhadap p53, Bcl-2, c-Myc, dan MMP-9. Ekspresi proteinp53, Bcl-2, c-Myc, dan MMP-9 dianalisis secara imunohistokimia pada karsinoma sel skuamosa kepaladan leher kemudian hasilnya dihubungkan dengan parameter klinikopatologis seperti usia, jenis kelamin,lokasi tumor, diferensiasi tumor, metastasis kelenjar getah bening dan stadium tumor, kemudian dianalisisstatistik dengan Chi square.Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat hubungan bermakna tingkatekspresi p53 dengan metastasis lokal (p=0,021) dan ada hubungan bermakna tingkat ekspresi MMP-9dengan lokasi tumor (p=0,026). Tidak terdapat hubungan ekspresi p53, Bcl-2, cMyc, dan MMP-9 terhadapusia, jenis kelamin, stadium tumor, diferensiasi histologi, tingkat T, N, dan metastasis jauh.Kesimpulan:Ada hubungan ekpresi p53 dengan metastasis kelenjar limfe regional dan ekspresi MMP-9 dengan lokasitumor pada karsinoma sel skuamosa kepala dan leher. Kata kunci: Karsinoma sel skuamosa kepala dan leher, p53, Bcl-2, c-Myc, MMP-9 ABSTRACTBackground: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is one of the most commoncancers world wide. Although aggressive and multidisciplinary approach to the treatment has been done,there is no significant improvement in 5-year survival in the last 20 years. Treatment failure occurredin the form of locoregional recurrence, distant metastasis, and/or a second primary tumor. A variety oftumor molecular markers have been studied to determine their potential in predicting disease outcome orresponse to the therapy. Purpose: To investigate correlation p53, Bcl-2, c-Myc, and MMP-9 expressionto clinicopathologic parameter in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patient in dr. Zainoel Abidinhospital. Methods: Cross sectional design study. The sample was consisted of 60 paraffin blocks ofhead and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Procedure of immunohistochemical staining used monoclonalantibodies against p53, Bcl-2, c-Myc, and MMP-9. Expression of p53 protein, Bcl-2, c-Myc, and MMP-9were analyzed by immunohistochemistry in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Then, the results were linked to clinicopathologic parameters such as age, sex, tumor location, tumor differentiation,lymph node metastasis and tumor stage, and statistically analyzed with Chi square. Results: The resultsshowed there were significant correlation between p53 expression level with local metastasis (p=0,021)and significant correlation of MMP-9 expression levels with tumor location (p=0,026). There were norelationship of p53, Bcl-2, cMyc and MMP-9 expressions based on age, sex, stage tumor, histologicdifferentiation, level of T, N, and distant metastases. Conclusion: There were relationships between p53expression with local metastasis and MMP-9 expression with tumor location in head and neck squamouscell carcinoma. Keywords: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, p53, Bcl-2, c-Myc, MMP-9
