研究概要

E-NECs 与较差的预后显著相关,但早期疾病除外。与 ESCC 相比,E-NECs 肿瘤微环境内 TILs 较少,导致抗肿瘤免疫力较弱,并可能导致预后较差。

研究思路结论见上方概要

食管神经内分泌肿瘤(E-NENs)是食管癌中一种罕见且报道较少的亚型。我们分析了E-NENs与食管鳞状细胞癌(ESCC)在临床病理特征、预后及TIL(肿瘤浸润淋巴细胞)(TILs)方面的差异。

共回顾性纳入3620例接受食管切除术的患者。通过倾向性评分匹配将研究队列分为两组(E-NENs和ESCC),并比较两组之间的预后和TILs。使用肿瘤标本(包括6例ESCC、6例神经内分泌癌[NECs]和6例混合性神经内分泌-非神经内分泌肿瘤[MiNENs])评估TILs。

E-NENs 占病例的 3.0%(107/3620),其中仅有 3 例神经内分泌肿瘤、51 例 NEC 和 53 例 MiNENs。匹配后,食管神经内分泌癌(E-NECs)与 ESCC 相比,5 年总生存期(OS;35.4% vs. 54.8%,p = 0.0019)和无复发生存(RFS;29.3% vs. 48.9%,p < 0.001)均更差。然而,在 I 期亚组中差异不显著。E-NECs 接受多模式治疗未观察到显著的生存获益。多因素分析表明,E-NECs 是 OS 和 RFS 的独立危险因素。在探索性分析中,与 ESCC 相比,E-NECs 与免疫细胞浸润较少相关。

Esophageal neuroendocrine neoplasms (E-NENs) are a rare and poorly reported subtype of esophageal carcinoma. We analyzed the differences in clinicopathological features, prognosis, and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) between E-NENs and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).

A total of 3620 patients who underwent esophagectomy were enrolled retrospectively. The study cohort was divided into two groups (E-NENs and ESCC) through propensity-score matching, and the prognosis and TILs were compared between the two groups. The TILs were assessed using tumor specimens (including six cases of ESCC, six cases of neuroendocrine carcinomas [NECs], and six cases of mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasms [MiNENs]).

E-NENs accounted for 3.0% (107/3620) of cases, among which there were just 3 neuroendocrine tumor cases, 51 NEC cases, and 53 MiNENs cases. After matching, esophageal neuroendocrine carcinomas (E-NECs) showed both poorer 5-year overall survival (OS; 35.4% vs. 54.8%, p = 0.0019) and recurrence-free survival (RFS; 29.3% vs. 48.9%, p < 0.001) compared with ESCC. However, the differences were not prominent in the subgroup with stage I. No significant survival benefit was observed for E-NECs with multimodal therapy. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that E-NECs are an independent risk factor for OS and RFS. In the exploratory analysis, E-NECs were associated with less infiltration of immune cells compared with ESCC.

E-NECs are significantly associated with a poorer prognosis than ESCC except for early-stage disease. The fewer TILs within the tumor microenvironment of E-NECs compared with ESCC results in weaker anti-tumor immunity and may lead to a poorer prognosis.
