Clinicopathological characteristics and postoperative prognosis of patients with nuclear pedigree of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract

The aim of this work is to analyze the clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic factors of patients with nuclear pedigree of esophageal cancer. The clinicopathological data and follow-up information of 3,260 patients from different nuclear pedigree of esophageal cancer who underwent radical resection of esophageal cancer were collected, and the clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic factors of the patients were analyzed. The male to female ratio of 3,260 patients with esophageal cancer was 1.7:1. The diagnosis age was ranged from 32 to 85 (60.2 ± 8.1) years old. About 53.8% of the patients were ≥ 60 years old; About 88.8% of the patients came from the high incidence area of esophageal cancer; About 82.5% of the tumors were located in the middle and lower segments of esophagus; Poor, moderate and well differentiation accounted for 26.6%, 61.9% and 11.5% respectively; The surgical margin accounted for 94.3%; 47.6% of the tumors were shorter than 4cm in length; Clinicopathological TNM stage (0+I) accounted for 15.2%, and stage II, III and IV accounted for 54.5%, 29.9% and 0.4%, respectively. Cox analysis showed that male, diagnosed age ≥ 60 years, tumor located in neck and upper esophageal segments, poor differentiation, tumor length ≥ 4cm, and advanced TNM were independent risk factors for the prognosis of patients in nuclear pedigree with esophageal cancer. Gender, diagnosis age, tumor location, degree of differentiation, tumor length and TNM stage are the influencing factors for the prognosis of patients with nuclear pedigree of esophageal cancer, which will provide important data for the future study of esophageal cancer family aggregation.
