42

Results

The study recruited a total of 42 patients (22 in the control group, 20 in the synbiotics group). Bacteria were detected in 16 of 101 blood samples in the control group, whereas those were detected only 2 of 100 blood samples in the synbiotics group (p < 0.001) during neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Additionally, bacteria were detected in 12 of 34 MLN samples in the control group, whereas no bacteria were detected in 38 MLN samples in the synbiotics group (p < 0.001).

Baseline Characteristics

Methods: Patients requiring neoadjuvant chemotherapy for esophageal cancer were randomized to receive synbiotics (synbiotics group) or no synbiotics (control group) during chemotherapy. Blood and fecal samples were taken before and after every chemotherapy cycle, and 1 day before surgery. Mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) were harvested at laparotomy (MLN-1) and after resection of the tumor (MLN-2). Bacteria in each sample were detected. Fecal microbiota and organic acid concentrations were also determined.

Adverse events

None

Outcome measures

The primary endpoint was the detection of bacteria in the blood samples, as well as the incidence of side effects during chemotherapy. The secondary endpoint was the detection rate of bacteria in the MLN samples collected during surgery.
