Impact of neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy on postoperative safety in locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: a propensity sco... by Yixin Li, Gang Xiao, Bo Yang, Yidan Hong, Zeng Chen, Lingling Gu, Cheng Kong, Lijun Zhao, Zihao Zhu, Qicen Xu, Yu Chen, Ming Jiang, Xiangzhi Zhu, Ning Jiang

“…Additionally, more patients in the nIComT group received perioperative transfusion (34.5% vs 14.7%, P<0.001), as well as an extended operation duration (276 ± 66min vs 246 ± 63min, P<0.001), when compared to the surgery-alone group. The logistic regression analyses of potential risk factors for cardiovascular complications showed that receiving neoadjuvant treatment was independently associated with cardiovascular complications (OR=2.03, 95% CI=1.15-3.57, P=0.015).ConclusionOur study highlights an increased risk of cardiovascular complications among patients received nIComT, underscoring the significance of postoperative circulatory interventions. …”
