Article Abstract

Molecular markers in the prognosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients who received postoperative treatments are lacking. This research aims to evaluate the prognostic value of polyadenylate-binding protein cytoplasmic 1 (PABPC1) alone and in combination with RAD51 in ESCC patients who underwent postoperative chemotherapy (CT). A total of 103 ESCC patients who underwent postoperative CT and 103 matched ones who received surgery alone were analyzed in this study. PABPC1 and RAD51 expression was assessed in cancer samples by immunohistochemistry. PABPC1 high expression (PABPC1-HE) but not that of RAD51 was associated with poor patients' survival, regardless of the postoperative treatment or node status. Patients with PABPC1 low expression and RAD51 negative expression [RAD51- (PABPC1-LE/RAD51-)] tumor had good overall survival (OS) in both the CT treated and untreated groups. Patients with PABPC1-LE/RAD51+ and PABPC1-HE/RAD51+ tumors had longer OS in the CT treated group than in the untreated group. However, PABPC1-HE/RAD51- was associated with a poor outcome in both groups and the patients with PABPC1-HE/RAD51- tumor had hardly any benefit from CT in N+ status. PABPC1 alone and in combination with RAD51 was a prognostic biomarker for OS in ESCC patients who received postoperative CT.

While the cancer genome is well-studied, the nongenetic exposome of cancer remains elusive, particularly for regionally prevalent cancers with poor prognosis. Here, by employing a combined knowledge- and data-driven strategy, we profile the chemical exposome of plasma from 53 healthy controls, 14 esophagitis and 101 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients, and 46 esophageal tissues across 12 Chinese provinces, integrating inorganic, endogenous, and exogenous chemicals. We first show that components of the ESCC chemical exposome mediate the relationship between ESCC-related dietary/lifestyle factors and clinic health status indicators.

Comprehensive analysis based on the ubiquitination- and deubiquitylation-related genes reveals the function of NEURL3 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Background: As a highly invasive gastrointestinal malignancy, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) carries with its high morbidity and mortality. Accumulating evidence indicates that abnormal activation of ubiquitination and deubiquitylation has been implicated in pathophysiology of ESCC. However, rare prognostic models for ubiquitination-related genes (URGs) and deubiquitylation-related genes (DRGs) have been built up in ESCC.

Background: While neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy shows promise for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), optimal regimen selection remains challenging. This study compares perioperative outcomes between camrelizumab- and tislelizumab-based neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy in ESCC.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 209 clinical stage II-IVA ESCC patients treated at Hebei Medical University Fourth Hospital (October 2020-December 2023) who underwent neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy (camrelizumab, n=119; tislelizumab, n=90) followed by esophagectomy.

Background: Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) are linked to prognosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), but whether the distribution, abundance, and maturity of TLSs affect therapeutic efficacy and prognosis in ESCC treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy plus immunotherapy (NRCI) remains unclear. We explored TLS characteristics and correlated them with patient survival.

Methods: A total of 157 resectable ESCC patients treated with neoadjuvant therapy between September 2020 and May 2023 were divided into NRCI (n=49) and neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy (NCI, n=108) groups.

Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy, safety, as well as the 3-year survival outcomes of neoadjuvant immunotherapy with chemotherapy (NICT) plus surgery in patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in real-world settings.

Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients with locally advanced ESCC who underwent surgery after NICT in our hospital between May 2019 and Mar 2022, with a median follow-up of 37.6 months.
