The Correlation Between Microbiome of Esophageal Cancer Patients and Post Esophagectomy Anastomotic Leaks (microbiome)
Esophageal cancer continues to be one of the most challenging topics and the subjects of numerous studies. Surgery is the mainstay for curative treatment and the need to improve all aspects of perioperative management in order to reduce morbidity and mortality, continues to be of immense importance.
Cited as the sixth most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide, esophageal cancer has a distinct geographic distribution known as the esophageal cancer belt: north central China through the central Asian republics to northern Iran, and from eastern to southern Africa.
Squamous-cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma are the two main histological subtypes of esophageal cancer, in a geographic differentiation as well, with squamous-cell carcinoma as the most common esophageal cancer subtype worldwide. Though adenocarcinoma is at a considerable rise in Western populations and has become the predominant subtype North America, Australia and Europe.
Although an ongoing improvement has been marked in the long-term survival after esophagectomy, it is still a highly invasive procedure with serious post-operative complications and entails a high morbidity and mortality rates.
Rates of mortality and morbidity range vastly in the literature with 30-day mortality reaching 11-22%. Complication rates up to 50%, with anastomotic leaks as the main complication ranging widely 0-35%.
Various risk factors have been proposed as contributors to mortality and morbidity in general and to anastomotic leaks in particular. These include both patient and tumoral characteristics such as premedical history and perioperative factors as tumor location, surgical technique and perioperative treatment.
The microbiome as a contributor to a patients' disease progression and management is of great interest in the understanding and better management of cancer patients as a whole and of the gastrointestinal tract in specific.
The contribution of the microbiome of a patient to colorectal cancer progression and to anastomotic leaks in the post-operative period has been addressed vastly in the literature in recent years, showing a distinct correlation to specific microbiota profile. Shogan et al. depicted a potential molecular mechanism of bacterial-driven anastomotic leak. It was shown that strains of the commensal organism Enterococcus faecalis could cause anastomotic leakage by causing direct collagen degradation at the site of a freshly constructed anastomosis, and indirectly by bacterial-induced over activation of host matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9).
A geographic differentiation in microbiota of Colorectal Cancer (CRC) was also shown by comparing tumor tissue and adjacent tissue of Colorectal Cancer patients from the US and Spain, elaborating yet another aspect of the importance of microbiome of cancer patients.
Oropharyngeal microbiome profiling has been proven as a possible predictor for post esophagectomy pneumonia projecting on overall survival as well.
A recent study by Rishindra et al from the university of Michigan shows a strong correlation of post esophagectomy anastomotic leaks and increased bacterial variance in preoperative oral and gastric flora.
We hypothesize that a correlation exists between microbiome of esophageal cancer patients and post esophagectomy anastomotic leaks.
According to former evidence microbiota are integrated into the tumor and therefore the microbial profile of the host (patient) may be represented by tumor microbiota.
In this proposed study, we intend to characterize retrospectively the microbial signature of esophageal tumors and to study whether there is a correlation between differential microbial signature and risk of post esophagectomy anastomotic leaks.
