The Impact

Background: The goal of this study was to investigate the impact of different nutritional parameters in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) who underwent surgical resection.Methods: A total of 620 patients with ESCC who underwent esophagectomy were analyzed. A receiver operating characteristic curve was constructed to set the appropriate cutoff points for five nutritional parameters: serum albumin (SA), body mass index (BMI), geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), and a new modified nutritional risk index (mNRI). Survival analyses were performed to calculate overall survival and investigate the independent prognostic factors.Results: The median preoperative BMI, SA, GNRI, PNI, and mNRI values were 20.90, 42.75, 102.95, 51.90, and 63.90, respectively. The corresponding optimal cutoff points were 18.75 for BMI, 43.05 for SA, 98.5 for GNRI, 51.45 for PNI, and 61.45 for mNRI. All nutritional parameters were significantly correlated with tumor length and pT category. Decreased nutritional parameters were significantly correlated with poor survival in univariate analysis; however, only the mNRI was an independent prognostic factor in multivariate analysis (P = 0.041).Conclusions: Nutritional parameters are convenient and valuable prognostic factors in ESCC patients who undergo surgical resection. The new mNRI parameter may be superior to the other nutritional parameters.

Aims: To investigate the prognostic value of hemoglobin combined with geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) scores in patients undergoing postoperative radiotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Patients & methods: Patients who underwent esophagectomy and postoperative radiotherapy were included in this retrospective study. Their preoperative hemoglobin and GNRI were collected to establish hemoglobin-GNRI (H-GNRI) scores, and their association with OS was evaluated. Results: Patients with high H-GNRI scores had better prognosis than those with low scores (p < 0.001). Differentiation (p = 0.001), T classification (p = 0.010), N classification (p = 0.001) and H-GNRI score (p = 0.018) were independent prognostic factors for all patients. Conclusion: H-GNRI score is an independent prognostic factor for the survival of patients with ESCC managed by surgery and postoperative radiotherapy.

The Impact

e15589 Background: Definitive concurrent chemoradiation therapy (dCRT) is the standard treatment for patients with nonsurgical esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), yet patients demonstrated great variations in responses and post-treatment progression inevitably. Methods: To identify prognostic factors that could assist in clinical judgment and make predictions ahead of disease relapse, we performed a targeted next generation sequencing of 416 cancer-related genes on primary tumor biopsies from 47 ESCC patients with locally advanced or metastatic nonsurgical diseases. Patients were subjected to dCRT treatment and local recurrence free survival (LRFS), progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) times were analyzed. Results: TP53 (78%), NOTCH1 (32%), ARID1A (13%), FAT1 (13%) and CDKN2A (13%) are the most commonly mutated genes in ESCC, while copy number gains are frequently occurred in MCL1 (36%), FGF19 (34%), MYC (32%), CCND1 (27%), ZNF217 (15%), CDKN2A (13%) and YAP1 (11%). Multivariate analysis including clinical variables (age, gender and disease stage) and individual genetic alterations suggested that gender is an independent prognostic factor and male tend to have longer LRFS, PFS and OS after dCRT treatment. In addition, YAP1 amplification likely increased the risk of disease progression and death. To remove the impact of gender on prognosis, gender stratified survival analysis was performed and found that male patients with YAP1 amplification had significantly shorter LRFS (p = 0.002) and OS (p = 0.03), and also demonstrated a certain trend toward a shorter PFS (p = 0.06) than male patients without YAP1 amplification. Conclusions: YAP1 amplification might be a potentially useful biomarker in predicting treatment outcomes and selecting patients with high relapse risk for closely monitoring.
