Abstract | Multimodality treatments are the gold standard for advanced resectable gastroesophageal cancer. Neoadjuvant CROSS and perioperative FLOT regimens are adopted for distal esophageal and esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma (DE/EGJ AC). At present, none of the approaches is clearly superior in the context of a curative-intent multimodal treatment. We analyzed consecutive patients treated with CROSS or FLOT and surgery for DE/EGJ AC between August 2017 and October 2021. Propensity score matching was performed to balance baseline characteristics of patients. The primary endpoint was disease-free survival. Secondary endpoints included overall survival, 90-day morbidity/mortality rates, pathological complete response, margin-negative resection, and pattern of recurrence. Of the 111 patients included, 84 were correctly matched after PSM, 42 in each group. The 2-year DFS rate was 54.2% versus 64.1% in the CROSS and FLOT group, respectively (p = 0.182). Patients in the CROSS group showed a lower number of harvested LN when compared to the FLOT group (29.5 versus 39.0 respectively, p = 0.005). A higher rate of distal nodal recurrence was found in the CROSS group (23.8% versus 4.8%, p = 0.026). Although not significant, the CROSS group showed a trend toward higher rate of isolated distant recurrence (33.3% versus 21.4% respectively, p = 0.328), together with a higher rate of early recurrence (23.8% versus 9.5% respectively, p = 0.062). FLOT and CROSS regimens for DE/EGJ AC offer similar DFS and OS, together with comparable morbidity/mortality rates. CROSS regimen was associated with a higher distant nodal recurrence rate. Results of ongoing randomized clinical trials are awaited. |
