Lack of association between prior or concurrent malignancies and overall survival in gastroesophageal cancer: evidence from a large European single-center cohort
Self-reported history of other malignant diseases is frequent in a real-life European gastroesophageal cancer cohort and was not statistically significantly associated with outcome, but rather with older age and squamous cell histology. Our data emphasize that cancer survivors should not be categorically excluded from clinical cancer trials due to fear of dismal prognosis. Prospective research is warranted to improve eligibility for this subgroup.
