Objectives

Narrative objectives1

To validate the efficacy of the treatment method and the determination of disease progression by using the next generation sequencer and measuring ctDNA and exosome DNA in patients diagnosed with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and treated with standard therapy in our department, and to examine the validity of the treatment method.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

The correlation of the dose of ctDNA and exosome DNA during treatment and the survival.

Key secondary outcomes

Correlation of ctDNA and exosome DNA levels before, during, and after treatment with recurrence-free survival
Correlation between ctDNA, exosome DNA levels and tumor markers
Correlation of ctDNA and exosome DNA levels with response rate to preoperative chemotherapy (RECIST Ver1.1) and disease control
Correlation of ctDNA and exosome DNA levels with the rate of decrease in SUVmax of the primary tumor by PET-CT scan
Correlation of ctDNA, exosome DNA levels with histological response to treatment (Grade based on Evans criteria for tumor cell disappearance)
Correlation between ctDNA, exosome DNA levels and resection rate
Correlation between the amount of ctDNA and exosome DNA and the curative resection rate (R1 or R0; R1: no gross cancer remnant, R0: no histological cancer remnant)
Comparison of ctDNA and exosome DNA levels in target genes with immunostaining results in surgically resected specimens
