| Abstract | Background The impact of radiation-related lymphocyte recovery on prognosis in locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (LA-ESCC) remains unclear. Methods Patients with stage II-IVa ESCC who received definitive RT were screened. Collect absolute lymphocyte counts (ALCs) before, during, and after RT. The recovery status of lymphocytes was observed at one-month post-RT (P1) and three months post-RT (P3). Patients with relatively lower lymphocyte recovery levels at P1 were divided into Group a and those with higher levels were divided into Group b. Patients with relatively lower lymphocyte recovery levels at P3 were divided into Group A and those higher were divided into Group B. Kaplan-Merier’s analysis and Cox analysis were conducted to compare survival outcomes. Binary logistic regression analyses was employed to ascertain factors associated with lymphocyte recovery. Results 116 patients were enrolled. During RT, ALCs reached the bottom 5 weeks after RT started and 70.7% of patients experienced G3 lymphopenia. The median OS for Group a and Group b were 38.1 months and 14.4 months, p = 0.097. The median PFS for Group a and Group b were 14.2 months and 10.0 months, p = 0.037. Whereas, the median OS for Group A and Group B was 14.5 months and 22.2 months, p = 0.019. The median PFS for Group A and Group B were 8.4 months and 12.4 months, p = 0.021. Cox multivariable analysis revealed that higher lymphocyte recovery level at P3 was significantly associated with superior OS (p = 0.040, HR0.636) and PFS (p = 0.028, HR0.627). The logistic analysis identified a positive association between G4 lymphopenia during RT (p = 0.012, OR 7.742) and PTV dose < 60 Gy (p = 0.014, OR 2.655) with lymphocyte recovery. Conclusions The prognostic value of lymphocyte recovery status at P3 appears to be greater than that of lymphocyte recovery status at P1 for locally advanced ESCC patients. Radiation-related lymphocyte recovery might serve as a valuable prognostic factor in LA-ESCC. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
