| 1 | Association of anastomotic leakage with long-term oncologic outcomes of patients with esophagogastric junction cancer显示文摘BACKGROUND Despite improvements in surgical procedures and peri-operative patients management,the postoperative complications in esophagogastric junction(EGJ)cancer remain high because of technical aspects.Several studies have indicated the negative influence of postoperative infectious complications on long-term survival after gastrointestinal surgery.However,no study has shown the association between postoperative complications and long-term survival of patients with EGJ cancer.AIM To elucidate influence of postoperative complications on the long-term outcomes of patients with EGJ cancer.METHODS A total of 122 patients who underwent surgery for EGJ cancer at the Keio University were included in this study.We examined the association between complications and long-term oncologic outcomes.RESULTS In all patients,the 3-year overall survival(OS)rate was 71.9%,and the recurrencefree survival(RFS)rate was 67.5%.Compared with patients without anastomotic leakage,those with anastomotic leakage had poor median OS(8 mo vs not reached,P=0.028)and median RFS(5 mo vs not reached,P=0.055).Among patients with cervical anastomosis,there were not significant differences between patients with and without anastomotic leakage.However,among patients who underwent intrathoracic anastomosis,patients with anastomotic leakage had significantly worse OS(P=0.002)and RFS(P=0.005).CONCLUSION Anastomotic leakage was significantly associated with long-term oncologic outcomes of patients with EGJ cancer,especially those who underwent intrathoracic anastomosis.Cervical anastomosis with subtotal esophagectomy may be an option for the patients who are at high risk for anastomotic leakage. | Masashi Takeuchi Hirofumi Kawakubo Satoru Matsuda Shuhei Mayanagi Tomoyuki Irino Jun Okui Kazumasa Fukuda Rieko Nakamura Norihito Wada Hiroya Takeuchi Yuko Kitagawa | 2022 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery2022，14，1： | 1 |
