Residual lymph node disease and mortality following neoadjuvant chemoradiation and curative esophagectomy for distal esophageal adenocarcinoma

Abstract: Objectives: Neoadjuvant chemoradiation has been shown to improve survival in locally advanced esophageal and gastroesophageal junction cancer. The purpose of our study was to examine the effects of posttreatment persistent lymph node (LN) disease on overall survival (OS) and recurrence in patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma after neoadjuvant chemoradiation as well as the effect of LN harvest and the potential benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy. Methods:The records of patients who underwent esophagectomy in o… Show more

“…Kandilis and colleagues 4 assessed the influence of persistently positive nodal disease after neoadjuvant chemoradiation on survival for 509 esophageal adenocarcinoma patients who underwent esophagectomy at their institution over a 12-year period. 4 Similar to prior studies, they noted a 22% complete pathologic response rate for adenocarcinomas treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiation, highlighting the importance of at least careful consideration of esophagectomy independent of radiographic response to neoadjuvant therapy.…”

“…In the current issue of JTCVS Open , Kandilis and colleagues 2 report on survival after neoadjuvant therapy and esophagectomy in patients with adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus. For this study, the patients were divided into 3 groups based on pathologic staging after neoadjuvant therapy and resection: patients with a complete response (ypT0N0, 22%), patients with residual tumor (ypT + N0, 46.2%), and patients at least 1 positive lymph node (ypTanyN1-3, 31.8%).…”
