Preoperation radiotherapy combined with surgical treatment for esophageal cancer: A Meta-analysis
Objective To assess the effectiveness and safety of preoperation radiotherapy combined with surgery for esophageal cancer. Methods Relevant randomized controlled trails (RCT) were retrieved from PubMed (1966-2009)
EMBASE (1974-2009)
Cochrane Library (Issue 4
2009)
CNKI (1994-2009)
CBM (1978-2009)
VIP(1989-2009) and WanFang (1997-2009). Two researchers assessed the quality of included trials and extracted data independently. Revman 5.0 software was used for meta-analysis. Results Ten RCTs of 2706 patients were involved in this Meta-analysis. The results show:preoperative radiotherapy combined with surgery compared with surgery alone: there were differences of 1 year overall survival rate [RR=1.17
95%CI 1.07-1.28
P=0.000 4]
5 year overall survival rates [RR=1.18
95%CI 1.01-1.37
P=0.03]
surgical resection rate[RR=1.08
95%CI 1.05-1.11
P0.01]
stumppositive rate of residual cancer[RR=0.18
95%CI 0.08-0.41
P0.01] and lymph node metastasis rate[RR=0.60
95%CI 0.43-0.84
P=0.003] between the two groups. However
there was no difference of 3 years overall survival rates [RR=1.54
95%CI 0.97-2.45
P=0.07] and the incidence of postoperative anastomotic leakage[RR=0.74
95%CI 0.33-1.66
P=0.47]. Conclusion Compared with surgery alone
preoperative radiotherapy combined with surgery in patients with esophageal cancer can improve the 1-year overall survival
5-year overall survival rates and surgical resection rate
reducing stump positive rate of residual cancer and lymph node metastasis rate. However
There was no significant difference in 3-year overall survival rates and the incidence of postoperative anastomotic leakage. Therefore
we looking forward to high-quality RCTs to reveal the significance of the combined treatment of preoperation radiotherapy combined with surgery.
