Abstract:Objective: To investigate the relationship between thoracoscopic surgery problems and serum marker levels in elderly esophageal cancer patients. Methods: This study recruited 108 patients with esophageal cancer who underwent thoracoscopic surgery in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of our hospital from May 2021 to May 2024. These patients were categorized into two groups: a complication group and a non-complication group. The clinical data of the patients were collected, and the levels of serum markers such as carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), squamous cell carcinoma antigen(SCC), C-reactive protein(CRP), procalcitonin(PCT), albumin(ALB), and prealbumin(PA) were detected before surgery. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of age, gender, BMI, tumor length, tumor location, and the proportion of patients with a history of alcohol consumption, diabetes, or coronary heart disease (P>0.05). However, the proportions of patients with a history of smoking, hypertension, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were higher in the complication group than in the no-complication group (P<0.05). Serum CRP and SCC levels were higher in the complication group, while ALB and PA were lower compared to the no-complication group (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that SCC, CRP, ALB, and PA are all independent influencing factors for the occurrence of complications (P<0.05). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve evaluation showed that the area under the curve (AUC) for predicting complications was highest for ALB and PA, at 0.781 and 0.773 respectively. The AUC for SCC and CRP were 0.645 and 0.734 respectively. The comparisons of AUCs among these indicators were as follows: ALB vs PA (Z=0.111, P=0.911), CRP vs PA (Z=0.533, P=0.581), SCC vs PA (Z=1.855, P=0.064), ALB vs CRP (Z=0.695, P=0.487), ALB vs SCC (Z=1.912, P=0.056), CRP vs SCC (Z=1.064, P=0.287). Conclusion: It suggest that serum marker levels are of great significance in predicting complications after thoracoscopic surgery in elderly patients with esophageal cancer, and can provide a powerful reference basis for clinical early intervention and improvement of patient prognosis.
