Usefulness of the aldehyde breath test for predicting metachronous recurrence in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma

Background The rate of metachronous recurrence after endoscopic submucosal dissection for early-stage esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and hypopharynx squamous cell carcinoma is as high (10–15%). The acetaldehyde breath test may detect acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 2 gene polymorphisms. Therefore, we...

Zusammenfassung:Background The rate of metachronous recurrence after endoscopic submucosal dissection for early-stage esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and hypopharynx squamous cell carcinoma is as high (10–15%). The acetaldehyde breath test may detect acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 2 gene polymorphisms. Therefore, we evaluated its usefulness in assessing metachronous recurrence in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and hypopharynx squamous cell carcinoma. Methods A total of 76 patients underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and hypopharynx squamous cell carcinoma and were followed up for at least 3 years (non-recurrence group: 52 patients; recurrence group: 24 patients). The risk factors for carcinogenesis were compared between the recurrence and non-recurrence groups, and the acetaldehyde-to-ethanol ratio was assessed. The cutoff acetaldehyde-to-ethanol ratio that correlated with recurrence was established, and the cumulative recurrence rate was evaluated. Results The recurrence group had a higher acetaldehyde-to-ethanol ratio, daily alcohol consumption, and Lugol-voiding lesion grade than the non-recurrence group in the univariate analysis. The cutoff acetaldehyde-to-ethanol ratio for recurrence was 28.1 based on the receiver operating characteristic curve. The multivariate analysis revealed an acetaldehyde-to-ethanol ratio of > 28.1 and a Lugol-voiding lesion grade associated with carcinogenesis. Patients with an acetaldehyde-to-ethanol ratio of ≥ 28.1 had a significantly high recurrence rate using the Kaplan–Meier method. Conclusions The acetaldehyde-to-ethanol ratio detected using the acetaldehyde breath test could be a novel biomarker of metachronous recurrence after endoscopic submucosal dissection in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and hypopharynx squamous cell carcinoma.
