Abstract

A descriptive study was performed in 40 male patients diagnosed with upper third esophageal squamous cell carcinoma at the General Radiotherapy Department of Vietnam National Cancer Hospital from January 2022 to September 2023 to describe the association between clinical characteristics, systemic immune-inflammation indexes and primary outcome after radical concurent chemoradiotherapy in upper third esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The average age is 60.9 years. Tumor length, PNI (prognostic nutritional index) and radiotherapy duration are factors related to post-treatment response (p < 0.05). In univariate logistic regression analysis, tumor length, PNI and radiotherapy duration are independent predictive factors for treatment response (p < 0.05). In multivariable logistic regression analysis, SII (systemic immune-inflammation index) is an independent factor predicting response to treatment (p < 0.05).
