Is It Time to Centralize High-risk Cancer Care in the United States? Comparison of Outcomes of Esophagectomy Between England and the United States

Abstract: The findings from this international comparison suggest that centralization of high-risk cancer surgery to centers of excellence with a high procedural volume translates into an improved clinical outcome. These findings should be factored into discussions regarding future service configuration of major cancer surgery in the United States.

“…Compared to these studies, our 30‐day mortality rate was only 0.8%, which is less than half that of the 2.1% rate seen in other high volume centers from the NIS, <4.2% 30‐day mortality rate in the National Cancer Database, and <3.3% mortality rate after minimally invasive esophagectomy in the Society of Thoracic Surgeons National Database . It is well recognized that mortality rates continue to rise between 30‐ and 90‐days post‐esophagectomy, though most studies do not report 90‐day mortality rates.…”

“…In light of the persistent association between improved surgical oncology outcomes and higher‐volume experience, the centralization of high‐risk cancer surgery has been proposed . Our results demonstrate that a volume‐outcome relationship exists for RPS.…”

“…Although some international comparative studies provided variations in mortality rate between countries, 10,11 these studies were under the restriction of the inherent differences in the data collection methods between the datasets. Also, these studies did not examine whether risk prediction models built for one population were accurate for the other population.…”
