ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: Esophageal cancer (EC) is an extremely aggressive tumor and requires virtuoso, complex surgery, vast practical experience and will always be the
prerogative of the world's best surgeons. 5-survival (5YS) and life span after radical surgery for EC patients (ECP) (T1 -4N0-2M0) - alive supersysems was
analyzed. The importance must be stressed of using complex system analysis, artificial intelligence (neural networks computing), modeling and biometric
methods in combination, because the different approaches yield complementary pieces of prognostic information.
METHODS: We analyzed data of 568 consecutive ECP (age=56.7± 9 years; tumor size=5.9± 3.5 cm) radically operated (R0) and monitored in 1975-2025 (m=424,
f=144; esophagogastrectomies (EG) Garlock=290, EG Lewis=278, combined EG with resection of pancreas, liver, diaphragm, aorta, VCS, colon transversum, lung,
trachea, pericardium, splenectomy=174; adenocarcinoma=326, squamous=232, mix=10; T1=133, T2=121, T3=186, T4=128; N0=288, N1=71, N2=209; G1=161,
G2=143, G3=264; early EC=114, invasive=454; only surgery=431, adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy-AT=137: 5- FU+thymalin/taktivin+radiotherapy 45-50Gy).
Multivariate Cox modeling, clustering, SEPATH, Monte Carlo, bootstrap and neural networks computing were used to determine any s ignificant dependence.
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 1906.3±2278.4 days and cumulative 5- year survival (5YS) reached 53%, 10 years – 46.4%, 20 years – 33.4%, 30 years –
27.5%. 194 ECP lived more than 5 years (LS=4300.8± 2503.5 days), 105 ECP – more than 10 years (LS=5860.8± 2469.2 days). 232 ECP died because of EC
(LS=628.8± 321.8 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (60.3% vs. 43.1%) (P=0.007 by log-rank test). 5YS of ECP of upper/3 was significantly better than others
(65.3% vs.50.3%) (P=0.003). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of ECP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) N0—N12 in terms of synergetics, blood cell
subpopulation, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), EC cell dynamics, T, G, histology, age, localization, prothrombin
index, coagulation time, residual nitrogen, chlorides (P=0.000-0.047). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed
relationships between 5YS and healthy cells/CC (rank=1), erythrocytes/CC (2), PT N0—N12 (3), PT early -invasive EC (4), thrombocytes/CC (5); segmented
neutrophils/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), eosinophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), leucocytes/CC (10), monocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100%
by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5-year survival of ECP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT “early-invasive cancer”; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) Cell Ratio Factors;
4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) EC cell dynamics; 9) EC characteristics; 10) tumor localization; 11) anthropometric
data; 12) surgery type. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for EC are: 1) screening and early detection of EC; 2) availa bility of sufficient quantity of very
experienced thoracoabdominal surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for
completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for ECP with unfavorable prognosis.
