AbstractAbstract

ARTFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND SIMULATION MODELING IN OPTIMIZATION OF TREATMENT FOR ESOPHAGOGASTRIC

CANCER PATIENTSOleg Kshivets Department of Surgery, Siauliai Public Hospital & Cancer Center,

Siauliai, Lithuania • OBJECTIVE: The search of optimal treatment plan for esophagogastric cancer (EGC) patients (EGCP) with stage T1-4N1-3M0 was

realized. We examined the clinicomorphologic factors associated with the low- and high-risk of generalization of EGCP after complete en block (R0) esophagogastrectomies (EG) through left and right thoracoabdominal incision.METHODS: We analyzed data of 187 consecutive EGCP (age=55.7±8.8 years; tumor size=6.8±3.3 cm) radically operated and monitored in 1975-2005 (males=138, females=49; EG Ivor-Lewis=60, EG Garlock=127; combined EG with resection of pancreas, liver, diaphragm, colon transversum, splenectomies=74; lymphadenectomy D2=80, D3=107; adenocarcinoma=109, squamos=68, mix=10; T1=27, T2=43, T3=67, T4=50; N0=75, N1=24, N2=85; N3=3; G1=54, G2=41, G3=92; only surgery-S=154, adjuvant chemoimmunotherapy-AT=33: 5-FU + thymalin/taktivin). Variables selected for 5-year survival (5YS) study were input levels of 45 blood parameters, sex, age, TNMG, cell type, tumor size. Survival curves were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Differences in curves between groups of CECP were evaluated using a log-rank test. Multivariate Cox modeling, multi-factor clustering, discriminant analysis, structural equation modeling, Monte Carlo, bootstrap simulation and neural networks computing were used to determine any significant dependence.RESULTS: General cumulative 5YS was 34.9%, 10-year survival – 26.1%. 72 EGCP (38.5%) were alive, 39 EGCP (life span: LS=3699.7±1617.6 days) lived more than 5 years without any features of CEC progressing. LS for AT was 2255.9±211.7 days, for S – 1324.8±1550.4 days (P=0.032, by log-rank test P=0.036). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of EGCP (n=187) after complete EG significantly depended on: combined procedures, age, blood cell subpopulations, cell ratio factors, lymphoid infiltration of EGC, T (P=0.000-0.029). Neural networks computing, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS of EGCP and combined procedures (rank=1), lymphoid infiltration of EGC (2), EGC growth (3), T1-4 (4), histology (5), G1-3 (6), N0-3 (7), procedure type (8), gender (9), Rh-factor (10), blood coagulation time (11), blood lymphocytes (12), protein (13), neutrophils (14), age (15), blood leucocytes (16), tumor size (17), ESS (18), blood chlorides (19), prothrombin index (20). Correct prediction of EGCP survival after radical procedures was 91.7% by logistic regression (odds ratio=98.8), 92.4% by discriminant analysis and 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0018).CONCLUSIONS: Optimal treatment strategies for EGCP are: 1) screening and early detection of EGC; 2) aggressive en block

surgery for completeness; 3) precise prediction; 4) AT for EGCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Conclusions:Conclusions:• Optimal treatment strategies for esophagogastric

cancer patients are: • 1) screening and early detection of

esophagogastric cancer; • 2) aggressive en block surgery for completeness;

3) precise prediction;

• 4) adjuvant chemioimmunotherapy for esophagogastric cancer patients with unfavorable

prognosis.
