Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in esophageal cancer (EC) patients may increase the formation of thromboembolic events (TEEs). We analyzed the incidence and impact of TEEs in EC patients treated with platinum-based CRT.
A total of 336 patients with EC underwent an esophagectomy, of which 110 patients received neoadjuvant CRT (41.4 Gy with concurrent Carboplatin/Paclitaxel). Patients were matched based on pre- and perioperative characteristics.
Preoperatively, 9 (8.2%) patients with neoadjuvant CRT (P = .004) were diagnosed with TEEs. Despite delay until surgery (P = .021), the postoperative course did not differ. In multivariate analysis, a history of deep vein thrombosis (P = .005) and neoadjuvant CRT (P = .004) were identified as risk factors. Postoperatively, there were no differences in TEEs (P = .560) observed. In multivariate analysis, a history of pulmonary embolism (P = .012) was identified as a risk factor for postoperative TEEs.
Preoperatively, EC patients treated with neoadjuvant CRT have an increased risk to develop a TEE, especially those with a previous history of TEE. After surgery no increased incidence was observed. We recommend secondary prophylaxis during neoadjuvant treatment in this high-risk group.
食管癌(EC)患者接受新辅助放化疗(CRT)可能会增加血栓栓塞事件(TEE)的形成。我们分析了接受铂类CRT治疗的EC患者中TEE的发生率及影响。
共有336例EC患者接受了食管切除术,其中110例患者接受了新辅助CRT(41.4 Gy同步卡铂/紫杉醇)。根据术前和围手术期特征对患者进行匹配。
术前,9例(8.2%)接受新辅助CRT的患者(P = .004)被诊断为TEE。尽管手术延迟(P = .021),但术后病程并无差异。多因素分析显示,深静脉血栓形成病史(P = .005)和新辅助CRT(P = .004)被确定为危险因素。术后,观察到的TEE并无差异(P = .560)。多因素分析显示,肺栓塞病史(P = .012)被确定为术后TEE的危险因素。
术前,接受新辅助CRT治疗的EC患者发生TEE的风险增加,尤其是有TEE既往史的患者。术后未观察到发病率增加。我们建议对该高危组在新辅助治疗期间进行二级预防。
