Long- vs short-segment Barrett's esophagus-derived adenocarcinoma: clinical features and outcomes of endoscopic submucosal dissection. Surg Endosc 2024; 38:3636-3644. [PMID: 38769185 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-024-10888-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of Barrett's esophageal adenocarcinoma (BEA) is increasing, and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been frequently performed for its treatment. However, the differences between the characteristics and ESD outcomes between short- and long-segment BEA (SSBEA and LSBEA, respectively) are unclear. We compared the clinicopathological characteristics and short- and long-term outcomes of ESD between both groups. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 155 superficial BEAs (106 SSBEAs and 49 LSBEAs) treated with ESD in 139 patients and examined their clinicopathological features and ESD outcomes. SSBEA and LSBEA were classified based on whether the maximum length of the background mucosa of BEA was < 3 cm or ≥ 3 cm, respectively. RESULTS Compared with SSBEA, LSBEA showed significantly higher proportions of cases with the macroscopically flat type (36.7% vs. 5.7%, p < 0.001), left wall location (38.8% vs. 11.3%, p < 0.001), over half of the tumor circumference (20.4% vs. 1.9%, p < 0.001), and synchronous lesions (17.6% vs. 0%, p < 0.001). Compared with SSBEA, regarding ESD outcomes, LSBEA showed significantly longer resection duration (91.0 min vs. 60.5 min, p < 0.001); a lower proportion of submucosal invasion (14.3% vs. 29.2%, p = 0.047), horizontal margin negativity (79.6% vs. 94.3%, p = 0.0089), and R0 resection (69.4% vs. 86.8%, p = 0.024); and a higher proportion of post-procedural stenosis cases (10.9% vs. 1.9%, p = 0.027). The 5-year cumulative incidence of metachronous cancer in patients without additional treatment was significantly higher for LSBEA than for SSBEA (25.0% vs. 0%, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The clinicopathological features of LSBEA and SSBEA and their treatment outcomes differed in many aspects. As LSBEAs are difficult to diagnose and treat and show a high risk of metachronous cancer development, careful ESD and follow-up or eradication of the remaining BE may be required.

A simpler diagnostic algorithm of the Japan Esophageal Society classification for Barrett's esophagus-related superficial neoplasia. Esophagus 2024; 21:22-30.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously developed a Japan Esophageal Society Barrett's Esophagus (JES-BE) magnifying endoscopic classification for superficial BE-related neoplasms (BERN) and validated it in a nationwide multicenter study that followed a diagnostic flow chart based on mucosal and vascular patterns (MP, VP) with nine diagnostic criteria. Our present post hoc analysis aims to further simplify the diagnostic criteria for superficial BERN. METHODS We used data from our previous study, including 10 reviewers' assessments for 156 images of high-magnifying narrow-band imaging (HM-NBI) (67 dysplastic and 89 non-dysplastic histology). We statistically analyzed the diagnostic performance of each diagnostic criterion of MP (form, size, arrangement, density, and white zone), VP (form, caliber change, location, and greenish thick vessels [GTV]), and all their combinations to achieve a simpler diagnostic algorithm to detect superficial BERN. RESULTS Diagnostic accuracy values based on the MP of each single criterion or combined criteria showed a marked trend of being higher than those based on VP. In reviewers' assessments of visible MPs, the combination of irregularity for form, size, or white zone had the highest diagnostic performance, with a sensitivity of 87% and a specificity of 91% for dysplastic histology; in the assessments of invisible MPs, GTV had the highest diagnostic performance among the VP of each single criterion and all combinations of two or more criteria (sensitivity, 93%; specificity, 92%). CONCLUSION The present post hoc analysis suggests the feasibility of further simplifying the diagnostic algorithm of the JES-BE classification. Further studies in a practical setting are required to validate these results.

J Clin Med 2023; 12:2544. [PMID: 37048628 PMCID: PMC10095556 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12072544] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2023] [Revised: 03/18/2023] [Accepted: 03/27/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS With the development of narrow-band imaging (NBI) in the endoscopic evaluation of patients with Barrett's esophagus (BE), the role of random biopsies according to the Seattle protocol (SP) has been questioned. We aim to compare the utility of advanced imaging to SP in patients with BE. METHODS A prospective cohort of patients with proven BE was retrospectively analyzed. All biopsies were reviewed by an expert GI pathologist. Advanced imaging was tandemly used with SP in each endoscopic procedure. RESULTS A total of 155 out of 340 patients (45.5%) with BE were diagnosed with dysplasia during a median follow-up of 4.7 years (IQR 3.4-6.1 years) and were part of the statistical analysis. A total of 82 patients had a diagnosis of dysplasia at presentation, whereas 84 patients developed dysplasia during follow up. A total of 67 out of 82 patients with dysplasia at presentation (81.7%), and 65 out of 84 patients that were diagnosed with dysplasia during follow-up (77.4%) were diagnosed using SP. In addition, whereas all the events of EAC were diagnosed using targeted biopsies, 57.1% of the events of HGD and 86.3% of LGD were diagnosed using SP. CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrate the significance of SP in the detection of low- and high-grade dysplasia in patients with BE. SP should remain the mainstay of endoscopic surveillance in this population.
