    Abstract: Despite improvements in perioperative esophageal cancer care, severe postoperative complications occur in 17.2% of the patients. Postoperative complications are associated with reduced health-related quality of life (HR-QoL), and severe complications may have a profound negative effect on the HR-QoL.The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between postoperative morbidity and reported HR-QoL in patients following esophagectomy for cancer. Methods Disease-free patients at least one year following esophagectomy for cancer in one of the participating LASER study centers between 2010 and 2016 were included. Patients completed the LASER, EORTC-QLQ-C30 and QLQ-OG25 questionnaires at least one year following surgery. The primary outcome was the relation between reported HR-QoL and occurrence of postoperative complications and to compare the HR-QoL in the study population with the reference values of the general population. Subgroup analysis was performed in patients with ‘no’ or ‘minor’ (Clavien-Dindo grade I-IIIa) and ‘severe’ (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ IIIb) complications, using univariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis. Results Among 645 included patients, 283 patients with ‘no’, 207 patients with ‘minor’ and 155 patients with ‘severe’ postoperative complications were included. The mean age of the patients was 64 years (SD 9), with a mean time since surgery of 4.4 years (SD 1.7). Neither significant or clinically relevant differences were found in the HR-QoL scores between patients with and without complications, nor were differences observed in subgroup analysis for severity of postoperative complications. Compared to the general population, patients reported worse HR-QoL in all domains except ‘Global Health’ and ‘Emotional Functioning’, and more symptomatology in all symptom domains except ‘Pain'. Conclusion HR-QoL between patients at a median of 4.4 years after esophagectomy for cancer did not differ. Differences were neither significant nor clinically relevant and furthermore, no differences were observed in subgroup analysis for severity of postoperative complications according to Clavien-Dindo.

    Abstract: Curative treatment for patients with esophageal cancer consists of neoadjuvant treatment and radical surgical resection. Two different strategies exist; patients can either be treated with perioperative chemotherapy (CT) or neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT). Both strategies improve 5-year survival rates, it is however not known if these treatments affect long-term Health-Related Quality of Life (HR-QoL) differently. The aim of this study was to compare HR-QoL between patients following CT and CRT followed by esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. Methods The LASER study database comprises data of a multicenter European study, with focus on HR-QoL among disease-free patients at least one year following an esophagectomy for esophageal or junctional cancer. Included patients completed the LASER, EORTC-QLQ-C30 and EORTC-QLQ-OG25 questionnaires. From this database we extracted patients either treated with CT or CRT for analysis. The primary endpoint was the mean difference in all long-term HR-QoL domains and LASER key symptom scores, using univariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis. The secondary endpoint was to compare the reported HR-QoL domain scores in the study population to the reference values of the general population. Results Among the 565 included patients, 349 (61.8%) received CRT, and 216 (38.2%) were treated with CT. The mean age was 63.7 years (±SD 8.6), and mean time since surgery was 4.3 years (±SD 1.7). After multivariable analysis, patients treated with CT reported worse outcomes on ‘Social Functioning’ (∆means 4.56, p-value & lt;0.05), more symptomatology on domains ‘Insomnia’ (∆means 5.65 p-value & lt;0.05) and ‘Diarrhea’ (∆means 5.93 p-value & lt;0.05) of the QLQ-C30 questionnaire, and more symptomatology on domains ‘Reflux’ (∆means 7.40, p-value & lt;0.05), ‘Odynophagia’(∆means 4.66 p-value & lt;0.05) and ‘Pain and discomfort’(∆means 4.34, p-value & lt;0.05) of the QLQ-OG25 questionnaire. No differences were observed for the LASER key symptoms. Conclusion Significant differences in favor of CRT were observed in several long-term HR-QoL domains for patients following esophagectomy for cancer. However, none of the observed differences in the reported long-term HR-QoL domains between patients treated with CT or with CRT, were clinically relevant (∆means≠ ≥ 10 points). Selection of neoadjuvant therapy should therefore be based on patient characteristics.

    Abstract: Large studies comparing totally minimally invasive oesophagectomy (TMIE) with laparoscopically assisted (hybrid) oesophagectomy are lacking. Although randomized trials have compared TMIE invasive with open oesophagectomy, daily clinical practice does not always resemble the results reported in such trials. The aim of the present study was to compare complications after totally minimally invasive, hybrid and open Ivor Lewis oesophagectomy in patients with oesophageal cancer. Methods The study was performed using data from the International Esodata Study Group registered between February 2015 and December 2019. The primary outcome was pneumonia, and secondary outcomes included the incidence and severity of anastomotic leakage, (major) complications, duration of hospital stay, escalation of care, and 90-day mortality. Data were analysed using multivariable multilevel models. Results Some 8640 patients were included between 2015 and 2019. Patients undergoing TMIE had a lower incidence of pneumonia than those having hybrid (10.9 versus 16.3 per cent; odds ratio (OR) 0.56, 95 per cent c.i. 0.40 to 0.80) or open (10.9 versus 17.4 per cent; OR 0.60, 0.42 to 0.84) oesophagectomy, and had a shorter hospital stay (median 10 (i.q.r. 8–16) days versus 14 (11–19) days (P = 0.041) and 11 (9–16) days (P = 0.027) respectively). The rate of anastomotic leakage was higher after TMIE than hybrid (15.1 versus 10.7 per cent; OR 1.47, 1.01 to 2.13) or open (15.1 versus 7.3 per cent; OR 1.73, 1.26 to 2.38) procedures. Conclusion Compared with hybrid and open Ivor Lewis oesophagectomy, TMIE resulted in a lower pneumonia rate, a shorter duration of hospital stay, but higher anastomotic leakage rates. Therefore, no clear advantage was seen for either TMIE, hybrid or open Ivor Lewis oesophagectomy when performed in daily clinical practice.
