Abstract Objective: To study whether the ligation of thoracic duct during video-assisted thoracic surgery esophagectomy will cause damage to the immune system, thus affecting the disease-free survival(DFS) of patients with cT1b-3N0M0 stage. Methods: We studied the esophageal squamous cell carcinoma confirmed by endoscopic ultrasound biopsy and PET-CT. They were randomly divided into thoracic duct ligation group and non ligation group. In addition to thoracoscopic resection of esophageal cancer, thoracic duct ligation was also performed in the experimental group. The peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets were detected by flow cytometry during perioperation. All patients were reexamined regularly after operation in order to find recurrence or metastasis early. The Chi-square test and t-test were employed for statistical analysis with statistical significance at p<0.05.The effect of thoracic duct ligation on DFS curves were calculated by the Kaplan–Meier method and compared by the log-rank test. A Cox regression model with stepwise selection was used for the multivariate analyses.Result: After early screening and late exclusion, a total of 67 patients entered the study and completed the follow-up. There was no significant difference in gender, age, tumor location, depth of invasion, degree of differentiation and presence of tumor thrombus between the ligation group (32 cases) and the non ligation group (35 cases). There was no significant difference in T lymphocyte subsets before and 3 weeks after operation, but there was significant difference on the 1st days after operation. Cox regression analysis showed that depth of invasion (P= 0.0020), degree of differentiation (P= 0.0262), presence of tumor thrombus (P = 0.0158) and thoracic duct ligation (P= 0.0036) were independent factors affecting DFS.Conclusion: Thoracic duct ligation can affect the short-term immune function after thoracoscopic esophagectomy in squamous cell carcinoma patients with pT1b-3N0M0 stage, and the thoracic duct ligation, depth of invasion, degree of differentiation and presence of tumor thrombus are independent factors affecting DFS.
