- W2890922031 abstract "Abstract Background Survival for esophageal cancer remains poor despite neo-adjuvant chemo-radiotherapy (nCRT) and surgical resection. The median survival for nCRT plus surgery in the CROSS trial was 48 months with a pathological complete response (pCR) rate of 29%. All pCR patients will have been clinical complete responders (cCR) and while surveillance and salvage surgery (S + SS) for cCR in rectal cancer is well investigated, it is unclear whether the outcomes are similar in esophageal cancer. As morbidity and mortality following esophagectomy is high, avoidance of surgery for predicted pCR would represent a clear advantage. Our unit offers a supported choice for cCR patients to opt for surgery or for surveillance. There is currently no literature on the cost benefit of a watch and wait policy for esophageal cancer patients with a complete clinical response. Methods We identified all cCR patients from a prospectively collected database of esophageal cancer patients offered curative treatment with nCRT from 1999 to 2017. We costed the S + SS group for whom accurate costing data was available and we matched these, according to time of follow up, to a control group of cCR who underwent surgery. Cost (from the National DRG cost manual) was calculated based on cost of surgery, ICU stay, admission length, and follow up radiological and endoscopic procedures. The data was analysed using a two-tailed, equal variance t-test. Results Of 237 patients who received nCRT, 86 had a cCR. Of these, 15 patients in the S + SS fulfilled the selection criteria with a mean follow up of 10.2 compared with 10.4 months in the control group (P = 0.925). The mean number of days in hospital was 19.2 vs. 43.2 days consecutively during the follow up period. The mean estimated cost to the HSE was €91,480 for S + SS compared with €301,280 for the controlled surgery group (P = 0.01). Conclusion This study identified a significant cost benefit for surveillance over surgery. Further studies are required to accurately identify those who cannot benefit from surgery and to assess quality of life years gained and cost per year of life are needed.
