Abstract:

Background

The surgical protocols and prognosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients influenced by the status of lymph node metastasis. It is necessary to identify risk factors that can predict lymph node metastasis to assist in clinical treatment.

Objective

To investigate the predict value of tumor budding (TB) and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) on lymph node metastasis (LNM) in patients with ESCC.

Methods

A total of 124 patients with ESCC who underwent radical resection and retained paraffin-embedded specimens in the Affiliated People's Hospital of Ningbo University from January 2013 to March 2022 were selected as the research subjects. The light microscopy and CK5/6 immunohistochemical staining were used to evaluate the amount of TB and density of TILs. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of lymph node metastasis in patients with ESCC and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to investigate the predictive value of TB and TILs for lymph node metastasis in patients with ESCC.

Results

Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that TB〔OR=20.078, 95%CI (6.043, 66.713), P<0.001〕, TILs〔OR=0.218, 95%CI (0.071, 0.666), P=0.008〕and intravascular tumor thrombus〔OR=28.609, 95%CI (7.512, 108.946), P<0.001〕 were influencing factors for lymph node metastasis. The area under ROC curve (AUC) for TB and TILs to predict lymph node metastasis in patients with ESCC was 0.835〔95%CI (0.763, 0.907) 〕 and 0.656〔95%CI (0.558, 0.753) 〕, respectively.

Conclusion

High-grade TB and low-density TILs were influencing factors for lymph node metastasis, TB grade and density of TILs has good diagnostic efficacy in predicting lymph node metastasis in patients with ESCC.

摘要:

背景

食管癌淋巴结转移状态影响患者的手术方案和预后情况,需要寻找能够预测食管癌淋巴结转移的危险因素,从而协助临床诊疗。

目的

探讨肿瘤出芽(TB)、肿瘤浸润淋巴细胞(TILs)预测食管鳞状细胞癌患者淋巴结转移的价值。

方法

选择2013年1月—2022年3月于宁波大学附属人民医院行食管癌根治切除并留存石蜡标本的124例食管鳞状细胞癌患者为研究对象,采用光镜和细胞角蛋白(CK)5/6免疫组织化学染色评估患者癌组织中TB分级及TILs密度,采用多因素Logistic回归分析探究食管鳞状细胞癌患者淋巴结转移的影响因素,并采用受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线探讨TB和TILs对食管鳞状细胞癌患者淋巴结转移的预测价值。

结果

多因素Logistic回归分析结果显示TB〔OR=20.078,95%CI(6.043,66.713),P<0.001〕)、TILs〔OR=0.218,95%CI(0.071,0.666),P=0.008〕、脉管内癌栓〔OR=28.609,95%CI(7.512,108.946),P<0.001〕是食管鳞状细胞癌患者淋巴结转移的影响因素。TB分级预测食管鳞状细胞癌患者淋巴结转移的ROC曲线下面积(AUC)为0.835〔95%CI(0.763,0.907)〕,TILs密度预测食管鳞状细胞癌患者淋巴结转移的AUC为0.656〔95%CI(0.558,0.753)〕。

结论

TB、TILs为食管鳞状细胞癌患者淋巴结转移的影响因素,TB分级与TILs密度对食管鳞状细胞癌患者淋巴结转移有较好的预测效能。
