PURPOSE Despite epidemiologic and molecular differences between esophageal and stomach cancers, most published studies have included patients with either disease in a metastatic scenario. We evaluated the safety and effectiveness of chemotherapy in patients with metastatic esophageal cancer in the community setting. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients with synchronous metastatic esophageal cancer treated at a public hospital between 2008 and 2016. Patients were grouped according to a prescribed chemotherapy protocol: platinum and taxane (group A); platinum and irinotecan (group B); platinum and fluoropyrimidine (group C); and without platinum (group D). RESULTS Of the 1,789 patients with esophageal cancer treated, we included 397 with metastatic disease at presentation. Squamous cell carcinoma was the most frequent histology (78.8%). Median overall survival (OS) was 7 months (95% CI, 6.15 to 7.85 months). Chemotherapy was administered to 285 patients, who reached a median OS of 9.0 months (95% CI, 8.0 to 9.9 months); for 112 patients who did not receive treatment, median OS was 3 months (95% CI, 2.3 to 3.7 months; P < .001). The most used combination was platinum plus irinotecan (A; 55.5%). Disease control with in groups A, B, C, and D was 39.2%, 30.1%, 53% and 14.3%, respectively. Patients in group C reached a median OS of 17 months (95% CI, 13.1 to 20.8 months; P = .034). No differences were observed in median OS obtained with other protocols (9 months). The toxicity profile was different according to chemotherapy, with more severe events (hematologic, diarrhea, and number of days hospitalized) occurring in group B. CONCLUSION Platinum plus paclitaxel or platinum plus irinotecan provided similar OS in community patients, although patients receiving irinotecan experienced more severe events. In the adenocarcinoma population, a fluoropyrimidine plus platinum-based regimen, although less frequently used, had a more favorable toxicity profile, with superior median OS and disease control.
