Resultados iniciales del registro de carcinomas esófago-gástricos de la Comunidad Valenciana / Initial results of the oesophageal and gastric cancer registry from the Comunidad Valenciana

Objetivos: Evaluar los resultados iniciales del registro de tumores esófago-gástricos desarrollado conjuntamente por la Sociedad Valenciana de Cirugía y la Consellería de Sanitat de la Comunidad Valenciana. Métodos: Participaron 14 de los 24 hospitales públicos de la Comunidad Valenciana. Se evaluaron todos los pacientes con diagnóstico de carcinoma de esófago y de estómago operados desde enero 2013 hasta diciembre 2014. Se analizaron variables demográficas, clínicas e histopatológicas. Resultados: Se incluyeron 434 pacientes, 120 con carcinoma de esófago y 314 con carcinoma gástrico. Solo en 2 centros se operaron a más de 10 pacientes con cáncer de esófago/año. La esofaguectomía transtorácica fue el abordaje más frecuente (84,2%) en los tumores de localización esofágica. En el 50,9% de los carcinomas de la unión esófago-gástrica (UEG) se realizó una gastrectomía total. La mortalidad postoperatoria a los 30 y 90 días fue del 8 y 11,6% en el carcinoma de esófago y del 5,9 y 8,6% en el carcinoma gástrico. Antes de la cirugía, los tumores esofágicos del tercio medio fueron tratados mayoritariamente (76,5%) con quimiorradioterapia. Por el contrario, los de tercio inferior y los de la UEG fueron tratados preferentemente solo con quimioterapia (45,5 y 53,4%). El 73,6% de los pacientes con carcinoma gástrico no recibió tratamiento neoadyuvante. La mitad de los pacientes con carcinoma esofágico o gástrico no recibió ningún tratamiento adyuvante. Conclusiones: Este registro muestra que en la Comunidad Valenciana, la mitad de los pacientes con cáncer de esófago son operados en hospitales con una casuística menor de 10 casos/año. Asimismo, ha detectado posibilidades de mejora relevantes en indicadores de resultado de los carcinomas esófago-gástricos (AU)

Aims: To evaluate the initial results of the oesophagogastric cancer registry developed for the Sociedad Valenciana de Cirugía and the Health Department of the Comunidad Valenciana (Spain). Methods: Fourteen of the 24 public hospitals belonging to the Comunidad Valenciana participated. All patients with diagnosis of oesophageal or gastric carcinomas operated from January 2013 to December 2014 were evaluated. Demographic, clinical and pathological data were analysed. Results: Four hundred and thirty-four patients (120 oesophageal carcinomas and 314 gastric carcinomas) were included. Only two hospitals operated more than 10 patients with oesophageal cancer per year. Transthoracic oesophaguectomy was the most frequent approach (84.2%) in tumours localized within the oesophagus. A total gastrectomy was performed in 50.9% patients with gastroesophageal junction (GOJ) carcinomas. Postoperative 30-day and 90-day mortality were 8% and 11.6% in oesophageal carcinoma and 5.9 and 8.6% in gastric carcinoma. Before surgery, middle oesophagus carcinomas were treated mostly (76,5%) with chemoradiotherapy. On the contrary, lower oesophagus and GOJ carcinomas were treated preferably with chemotherapy alone (45.5 and 53.4%). Any neoadjuvant treatment was administered to 73.6% of gastric cancer patients. Half patients with oesophageal carcinoma or gastric carcinoma received no adjuvant treatment. Conclusions: This registry revealed that half patients with oesophageal cancer were operated in hospitals with less than 10 cases per year at the Comunidad Valenciana. Also, it detected capacity improvement for some clinical outcomes of oesophageal and gastric carcinomas (AU)
