摘要

Background: Esophageal squamous cell neoplasms (ESCNs) are common second primary tumors in patients with head and neck cancer. Image-enhanced endoscopy (IEE) with Lugol chromoendoscopy or magnifying narrow-band imaging both increase the detection of early ESCNs. No evidence-based ESCN surveillance program for head and neck cancer patients without a history of synchronous ESCNs exists. We aimed to evaluate the performance of an IEE surveillance program with magnifying narrow-band imaging endoscopy and Lugol chromoendoscopy. Methods: From April 2016, we routinely used IEE with magnifying narrow-band imaging and Lugol chromoendoscopy to evaluate patients with head and neck cancer history. All patients who were negative for ESCNs at the first surveillance endoscopy and received at least 2 IEEs through December 2019 were included. Demographic profiles, clinical data, cancer characteristics, IEE results and pathology reports were analyzed. Results: A total of 178 patients were included. Only 4 patients (2.2%) developed metachronous ESCNs during follow-up, all of whom received curative resection treatment. The interval for the development of metachronous ESCNs was 477 to 717 days. In multivariate Firth logistic regression and Kaplan‒Meier survival curve analysis, Lugol’s voiding lesion type C had an increased risk of esophageal cancer development (adjusted odds ratio = 15.71; 95% confidence interval, 1.33–185.87, p = 0.029). Eight patients died during the study period, and none of them had metachronous ESCNs. Conclusions: IEE with magnifying narrow-band imaging and Lugol chromoendoscopy is an effective surveillance program in head and neck cancer patients without a history of ESCNs. Annual surveillance can timely detect early ESCNs with low ESCN-related mortality.
