Nationwide registry analysis reports clinical outcomes and five-year survival in esophageal cancer patients, highlighting distinctions between major cancer staging systems.

Key Points

To evaluate the clinical characteristics, treatment modalities, and long-term survival outcomes of patients diagnosed with esophageal cancer across Japan in 2015.
Nationwide registry analysis of N=9368 esophageal cancer cases collected from 355 medical institutions across Japan.
Patients were staged using both the Japan Esophageal Society (JES) classification and the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) TNM classification systems.
Squamous cell carcinoma accounted for 86.7% of cases and adenocarcinoma accounted for 7.4%.
Five-year survival rates were 87.2% for endoscopic resection, 59.9% for esophagectomy, 33.5% for concurrent chemoradiotherapy, and 24.2% for radiotherapy alone.
Among 5172 patients undergoing esophagectomy, 60.6% received minimally invasive surgery with a 30-day operative mortality of 0.79% and in-hospital mortality of 2.3%.
