[PMID: 38633305 PMCID: PMC11021582 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2024.1266278] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 03/15/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Lymph node metastasis (LNM) is considered an essential prognosis factor for adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG), which also affects the treatment strategies of AEG. We aimed to evaluate automated machine learning (AutoML) algorithms for predicting LNM in Siewert type II T1 AEG. Methods A total of 878 patients with Siewert type II T1 AEG were selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database to develop the LNM predictive models. The patients from two hospitals in Suzhou were collected as the test set. We applied five machine learning algorithms to develop the LNM prediction models. The performance of predictive models was assessed using various metrics including accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, the area under the curve (AUC), and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results Patients with LNM exhibited a higher proportion of male individuals, a poor degree of differentiation, and submucosal infiltration, with statistical differences. The deep learning (DL) model demonstrated relatively good accuracy (0.713) and sensitivity (0.868) among the five models. Moreover, the DL model achieved the highest AUC (0.781) and sensitivity (1.000) in the test set. Conclusion The DL model showed good predictive performance among five AutoML models, indicating the advantage of AutoML in modeling LNM prediction in patients with Siewert type II T1 AEG.

Abstract
Gastroesophageal (GE) junction adenocarcinoma is an aggressive malignancy of growing incidence and is associated with public health issues such as obesity and GERD. Management has evolved over the last two decades to incorporate a multidisciplinary approach, including endoscopic intervention, neoadjuvant chemotherapy/chemoradiation, and minimally invasive or more limited surgical approaches. Surgical approaches include esophagectomy, total gastrectomy, and, more recently, proximal gastrectomy. This review analyzes the evidence for and applicability of these varied approaches in management, as well as areas of continued controversy and investigation.

Porphyromonas gingivalis predicts local recurrence after endoscopic submucosal dissection of early esophageal squamous cell carcinoma or precancerous lesion. BMC Cancer 2023; 23:43. [PMID: 36635649 PMCID: PMC9837911 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-022-10469-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 01/14/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Porphyromonas gingivalis plays an oncogenic role in development and progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, the impact of P. gingivalis on local recurrence of early ESCC or precancerous lesion after ESD treatment remains unknown. The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of P. gingivalis on local recurrence after ESD treatment of early ESCC or high-grade dysplasia (HGD). METHODS The amount of P. gingivalis was assessed by immunohistochemistry in 205 patients with early ESCC or HGD. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to determine the effect of P. gingivalis on local recurrence. Propensity score matching analysis was performed to reduce the imbalance of baseline characteristics. A nomogram integrating significant prognostic factors was built for local recurrence prediction. RESULTS The amount of P. gingivalis increased significantly in neoplasms that invaded up to muscularis mucosa and submucosa compared with lesions confined to epithelium or lamina propria. Overabundance of P. gingivalis was positively associated with invasion depth, post-ESD stricture and local recurrence. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses revealed that P. gingivalis, longitudinal length of lesion and lymphovascular invasion were independent predictors for post-ESD recurrence. A nomogram comprising P. gingivalis, lymphovascular involvement, and lesion length performed well for prediction of post-ESD local recurrence with the concordance indices of 0.72 (95%CI, 0.62 to 0.80), 0.72 (95%CI, 0.63 to 0.80), and 0.74 (95%CI, 0.65 to 0.83) in the validation cohort, the entire cohort, and the subcohort after PSM, respectively. CONCLUSION P. gingivalis overabundance is a risk factor and a potential predictor for local recurrence of early ESCC or HGD after ESD treatment. Thus, clearance of P. gingivalis represents an attractive strategy for prognosis improvement and for prevention of ESCC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Extension of adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction under the squamous epithelium may lead to errors when determining lateral margins. However, the characteristics of subsquamous extension are unclear. Herein, we evaluated the prevalence and characteristics of subsquamous extension of adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction and the diagnostic performance of endoscopy for this condition. METHODS Eighty-nine consecutive patients with superficial adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction who underwent endoscopic or surgical resection at a tertiary cancer center between January 2010 and December 2017 were retrospectively evaluated. Endoscopic subsquamous extension was defined as a submucosal tumor-like elevation covered by squamous epithelium and/or a brownish area with abnormal microvessels on the squamous epithelium observed using narrow-band imaging. The diagnostic performance of endoscopy for subsquamous extension was evaluated using histological subsquamous extension as gold standard. RESULTS Thirty-nine patients (44%) had histological subsquamous extension. Proton pump inhibitor use was significantly associated with histological subsquamous extension [odds ratio: 4.65; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.77-12.2]. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of endoscopic subsquamous extension were 56% (95% CI: 40-72%), 96% (86-99%), 92% (73-99%), 74% (62-84%) and 79% (69-87%), respectively. The median length difference between histological and endoscopic subsquamous extension was 2 mm (range: -6 to 9 mm). CONCLUSIONS The sensitivity of endoscopic diagnosis of subsquamous extension was unsatisfactory. The endoscopic length of subsquamous extension tended to be underestimated. An oral safety margin of one centimeter is reasonable during endoscopic resection of adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction.IMPACT STATEMENT This study will contribute significantly to the literature because this is the first study to determine the difference between the lengths of subsquamous extension detected endoscopically and histologically. This study determines the prevalence of subsquamous extension and identifies characteristics associated with subsquamous extension. An understanding of the risk of subsquamous extension is important when choosing a treatment strategy and planning the resection margins in patients with adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction. This study provides patients with subsquamous extension characteristics and suggests a method for accurately diagnosing this condition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND So far, little evidence is available for the comprehensive comparison of endoscopic submucosal tunnel dissection (ESTD) with endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for the treatment of superficial neoplasia at esophagogastric junction (EGJ). METHODS EGJ superficial neoplasia patients with ESTD treatment between January, 2021 and August, 2020 were retrospectively reviewed and individually matched at 1:1 ratio with those with ESD treatment according to lesion size, specimen area and lesion location, forming ESTD and ESD group, respectively. A sample size of 17 patients was collected for each group. Treatment outcomes including resection time, specimen area, and resection speed as well as occurrence of complications were evaluated. RESULTS Compared with ESD group, ESTD group got shorter resection time (111.00 ± 11.70 min for ESD group vs. 71.59 ± 6.18 min for ESTD group, p = 0.008) and faster section speed (0.23 ± 0.03 cm2/min for ESD group vs. 0.37 ± 0.06 cm2/min for ESTD group, p = 0.012). No complication was found to occur in ESTD group, while 1 patient with MP damage and 1 with delayed bleeding was found in ESD group. CONCLUSION For the treatment of EGJ superficial neoplasia, ESTD is a safer and more effective and reliable endoscopic technique compared with ESD.

Comparable long-term outcomes after endoscopic therapy and gastrectomy of early adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction: a population-based study. Surg Endosc 2022; 36:7521-7528. [PMID: 35352149 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-022-09187-w] [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: 11/28/2021] [Accepted: 03/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Current guidelines recommend consideration of endoscopic therapy (ET) when treating selected early gastric cancers. However, clinical decision-making on ET versus gastrectomy for early adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEGJ) remains challenging because of uncertain long-term outcomes. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database from 2004 to 2017 of early AEGJ patients underwent ET or gastrectomy. Multivariate models were used to compare cancer-specific survival (CSS). RESULTS Of 881 included early AEGJ patients, 227 (36.2%) patients underwent ET and 654 (63.8%) patients underwent gastrectomy. Early AEGJ patients who underwent ET experienced a similar hazard of cancer-specific death compared with those underwent gastrectomy in both multivariate Cox regression (HR [hazard ratio], 0.93; 95% CI [confidence interval], 0.55-1.56; P = 0.78) and the multivariate competing risk model (subdistribution HR [SHR], 0.86; 95% CI 0.50-1.45; P = 0.56). Propensity score matching was used, 210 patients underwent ET were matched with 210 patients underwent gastrectomy. Patients underwent ET experienced a similar hazard of cancer-specific death compared with those underwent gastrectomy in both multivariate Cox regression (HR, 0.97; 95% CI 0.53-1.77; P = 0.92) and the multivariate competing risk model (SHR, 0.96; 95% CI 0.52-1.77; P = 0.89). CONCLUSION Early AEGJ patients who received ET or gastrectomy had comparable long-term outcomes, which lend support to the role of ET in the treatment of these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Preoperative determination of the invasion depth of superficial adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction is important for appropriate endoscopic or surgical resection. There are no objective criteria regarding this; therefore, we investigated the factors associated with the invasion depth of superficial adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction. METHODS This retrospective study evaluated patients with superficial adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction who had undergone endoscopic or surgical resection at a Japanese tertiary cancer center between April 2004 and December 2017. We analyzed endoscopic features of intramucosal to slight submucosal (M-SM1; < 500 μm) and deep submucosal (SM2; ≥ 500 μm) adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction and extracted significant factors associated with and assessed the diagnostic performance of endoscopic features for SM2 lesion. RESULTS A total of 106 cases were included in this study. Multivariate analysis indicated that depressed or protruded type (odds ratio [OR], 11.1), lesion size ≥ 15 mm (OR, 3.11), uneven surface (OR, 6.31), and subsquamous extension (OR, 5.41) were significantly associated with SM2 adenocarcinomas of the esophagogastric junction. When the macroscopic type was depressed or protruded, high sensitivity (97%) but fair specificity (46%) were observed for SM2 adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction, whereas uneven surface and subsquamous extension showed high specificity (96% and 87%) but fair sensitivity (36% and 46%). CONCLUSIONS Depressed or protruded type, lesion size ≥ 15 mm, uneven surface, and subsquamous extension were significantly associated with the invasion depth of superficial adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction. These endoscopic features are useful in determining the treatment method preoperatively.

Abstract
Background: Endoscopic resection has been introduced as an alternative treatment for
superficial adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG), but is
limited by positive nodal status. We aimed to investigate the predictors of
lymph node metastasis (LNM) in patients with Siewert type II T1 AEG. Methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was used to
identify eligible patients with Siewert type II T1 AEG. The prevalence of
LNM was assessed. Logistic regression analysis with multivariable adjustment
was used to determine predictors of LNM. We also performed Cox regression
analysis to examine the prognostic value of LNM, which was further confirmed
by competing risk analysis and cumulative incidence function (CIF). Results: In total, 2651 patients with T1 AEG were included, with a median age of 69
years and a median follow-up of 28 months. The overall prevalence of LNM was
17.2% in T1 AEG. When stratified by tumor invasion depth, the prevalence of
LNM was 8.5% for intramucosal tumors and 22.6% for submucosal tumors.
Adjusted logistic regression analysis showed that age, sex, tumor grade,
tumor size and tumor infiltration depth were independent predictors of LNM
in T1 AEG. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that positive nodal
status was significantly associated with worse overall survival and
cancer-specific survival (CSS). Subgroup analysis consistently demonstrated
that patients with LNM had significantly poorer CSS than those without LNM
in most subgroups. Finally, the CIF was calculated, showing that patients
with LNM had a significantly higher cancer-specific death rate than those
without LNM. Conclusions: This population-based study identified age, sex, tumor grade, tumor
infiltration depth and tumor size as independent predictors of LNM in T1
AEG. Considering the high prevalence of LNM in T1 AEG, endoscopic resection
for curative aims may only be introduced in patients without high risks of
LNM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The curative criteria after endoscopic submucosal dissection for early gastric carcinoma were updated by the Japanese Gastric Cancer Association. No study has shown promising results with endoscopic submucosal dissection for early adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction based on the new curative criteria. The purpose of this study was to validate clinical efficacy of the application of the curative criteria of the 5th edition Japanese gastric cancer treatment guidelines for early adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction after endoscopic submucosal dissection. METHODS Patients who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection for Siewert type II adenocarcinoma between January 2013 and June 2018 were eligible for this study. Clinical and pathological features and treatment outcomes were retrospectively reviewed using medical records. RESULTS The success rate for en-bloc resection was 97.2% (172/177) and the curative resection rate was 71.2% (126/177). Additional endoscopic submucosal dissection or radical surgery was conducted in 10 patients (5.6%) who did not fulfil the curative resection criteria, while one patient with curative resection remedied with endoscopic submucosal dissection because of recurrence. According to eCura scoring system, 94 patients (53.1%) were categorized into eCura A, 34 patients (19.2%) into eCura B, 11 patients (6.2%) into eCura C-1, and 38 patients (21.5%) into eCura C-2. Five patients categorized as eCura C-2 underwent radical surgery, two of whom have lymph node metastasis. CONCLUSIONS Endoscopic submucosal dissection for early adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction that met the expanded criteria of the 5th edition Japanese gastric cancer treatment guidelines were acceptable and should be the standard treatment instead of surgical resection.

Abstract
Background Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) are used to remove esophagogastric junction (EGJ) neoplasm. This study aimed to compare feasibility, safety, and effectiveness between ESD and EMR to help endoscopists choose treatment methods. Methods A total of 130 patients with EGJ neoplasm underwent endoscopic resection, including 52 patients with EMR and 78 patients with ESD. Cap-assisted EMR (EMRC) was performed with typical sequences. Larger lesions required removal in multiple pieces (i.e., piecemeal EMR). The ESD procedures were included that marking the periphery of the lesion, submucosa injected, circumferentially cutting and submucosal dissection. Resection time, adverse events, en bloc resection rate, R0 resection rate and recurrence rate were compared between the two groups. Results There were no significant differences in demographic characteristics or histopathological features between the two groups. Resection time was longer in the ESD group than in the EMR group (64.4±33.9 vs. 22.1±8.0 minutes; P<0.01). Adverse events were more common in the ESD group than in the EMR group (16.7% vs. 3.8%; P=0.03), including bleeding (7.7% vs. 3.8%), perforation (5.1% vs. 0%) and stenosis (5.1% vs. 0%). The en bloc resection rate and R0 resection rate were much higher in the ESD group than in the EMR group (98.7% and 92.3% vs. 23.1% and 23.1%, respectively; P<0.01). The 5-year overall survival rate and disease-free survival rate were 100% vs. 92.0% and 100% vs. 90.1% between the ESD and EMR groups, respectively (P=0.01 and P=0.01). The 5-year cancer-specific survival rate was 100% vs. 96.0% between the ESD and EMR groups (P=0.08). The recurrence rate was lower in the ESD group than in the EMR group (0% vs. 9.6%; P=0.01). Conclusions ESD is an acceptable first-line endoscopic treatment for type II EGJ neoplasm, however, it is time-consuming and has a higher rate of adverse events. Furthermore, EMR is a safe and alternative technique, particularly when EMR could achieve en bloc resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Endoscopic resection (ER) of superficial adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEGJ) has been shown to be safe and effective. However, long-term data in patients undergoing ER for superficial AEGJ in Japan are still limited. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of ER on survival and occurrence of metachronous cancer of patients with superficial AEGJ. METHODS A retrospective analysis of patients who underwent or endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for superficial AEJG in 13 centers in Japan was performed. The patients were classified as either low risk or high risk for lymph node metastasis based on histologic features. The incidence of metachronous AEGJ as well as overall survival and disease-specific survival rates were calculated. RESULTS A total of 372 patients who underwent ER were included, in which 277 patients were low risk and 95 high risk for lymph node metastasis. Five-year cumulative incidences of local recurrence were 13% and .5% in the EMR and ESD groups, respectively (P < .01). Six AEGJ deaths were observed in the high-risk group and none in the low-risk group. The 5-year overall survival rates in the low-risk group without additional treatment, the high-risk group with additional treatment, and the high-risk group without additional treatment were 93.9%, 77.7%, and 81.6%, respectively. The 5-year disease-specific survival rates in the 3 groups were 100%, 94.4%, and 92.8%, respectively. The 5-year cumulative incidence of metachronous AEGJ in 316 patients without additional treatment was 1.1%. CONCLUSIONS Favorable long-term outcomes with ER were observed in patients with AEGJ who met the low-risk criteria for lymph node metastasis. ESD was a reasonable and effective treatment in Japanese patients.

Abstract
Esophageal and gastric carcinomas are prevalent malignancies worldwide. In contrast to the poor prognosis associated with advanced stages of disease, early stage disease has a favorable prognosis. Early stage gastric cancer (ESGC) is defined as cancer in which the depth of invasion is limited to the submucosal layer of the stomach on histologic examination, regardless of lymph node status. ESGC that meets standard or expanded criteria can be treated via endoscopic mucosal resection and endoscopic submucosal dissection. Similar indications for endoscopic interventions exist for gastroesophageal junction and esophageal malignancies."

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) is uncommon in Eastern countries, including Japan, but it is believed that the incidence of EGJ adenocarcinoma will increase in Asia in the future due to the decreasing incidence of Helicobacter pylori infection. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a minimally invasive and curative treatment that allows precise pathological assessment. SUMMARY Magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging may be useful for differential diagnoses and for delineating the cancer margin of EGJ adenocarcinoma, but subsquamous carcinoma extension, which is the invasion of EGJ adenocarcinoma beneath the normal esophageal squamous epithelium, makes it difficult to detect cancer margins of the oral side in ESD for EGJ adenocarcinoma. Since subsquamous carcinoma extension was reported to be less than 1 cm in most cases, the oral safety margin that is placed 1 cm from the squamocolumnar junction is useful for negative cancerous horizontal margin. A multicenter retrospective study of esophageal adenocarcinoma including EGJ adenocarcinoma showed that mucosal and submucosal cancer within 500 μm from the muscularis mucosa without lymphovascular involvement, a poorly differentiated component, and lesion size over 3 cm were not associated with metastasis. Several retrospective studies about ESD for EGJ adenocarcinoma have suggested feasible short-term and long-term outcomes using curative criteria based on gastric cancer guidelines. Key Messages: ESD would be a good first-line treatment for superficial EGJ adenocarcinoma, including Barrett's adenocarcinoma. Additional information about the incidence of metastasis would help confirm the indication of ESD for EGJ adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Because of the poor prognosis of proximal gastric cancers, there is debate as to whether the conventional indications for endoscopic resection can be used. METHODS Among subjects who underwent surgery for esophagogastric junction or gastric cardia cancer, 256 patients with T1 type II/III of the Siewert classification were included in this study. The association of lymph node metastasis (LNM) with each variable was analyzed using logistic regression models. A receiver operating characteristic curve was used to determine the discriminatory ability of the model. Propensity score-matched non-cardia cancer patients were selected to compare LNM and long-term survival rates. RESULTS Of the 256 patients with T1 Siewert II/III gastric cancer, 21 (8.2%) had LNM. Because there was no LNM in T1a cancers, risk factors were analyzed only in patients with T1b. Tumor size (OR 1.42, 95% CI 1.10-1.82, P = 0.007) and lymphovascular invasion (LVI) (OR 5.13, 95% CI 1.88-14.06, P = 0.002) were determined to be predictors of LNM (sensitivity = 66.7% and specificity = 81.6%). Among patients without LVI, the groups with negligible risk for LNM were mucosa-confined cancer, or SM1 cancer with a tumor size ≤3 cm. No LNM was observed in patients satisfying the absolute or extended criteria for endoscopic resection of early gastric cancers. LNM and long-term survival rates of patients with Siewert II/III did not differ significantly compared with matched non-cardia cancer patients. CONCLUSIONS Tumor size and LVI were associated with LNM in patients with early Siewert type II/III gastric cancer, and the expanded indication for endoscopic resection may be used.

World J Gastroenterol 2018; 24:2518-2536. [PMID: 29930473 PMCID: PMC6010943 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v24.i23.2518] [Citation(s) in RCA: 45] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2018] [Revised: 05/05/2018] [Accepted: 06/02/2018] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
AIM To compare endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) outcomes between Eastern and Western countries. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed using PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, CINAHL and EBM reviews to identify studies published between 1990 and February 2016. The primary outcome was the efficacy of ESD based on information about either curative resection, en bloc or R0 resection rates. Secondary outcomes were complication rates, local recurrence rates and procedure times. RESULTS Overall, 238 publications including 84318 patients and 89512 gastrointestinal lesions resected using ESD were identified. 90% of the identified studies reporting ESD on 87296 lesions were conducted in Eastern countries and 10% of the identified studies reporting ESD outcomes in 2216 lesions were from Western countries. Meta-analyses showed higher pooled percentage of curative, en bloc, and R0 resection in the Eastern studies; 82% (CI: 81%-84%), 95% (CI: 94%-96%) and 89% (CI: 88%-91%) compared to Western studies; 71% (CI: 61%-81%), 85% (CI: 81%-89%) and 74% (CI: 67%-81%) respectively. The percentage of perforation requiring surgery was significantly greater in the Western countries (0.53%; CI: 0.10-1.16) compared to Eastern countries (0.01%; CI: 0%-0.05%). ESD procedure times were longer in Western countries (110 min vs 77 min). CONCLUSION Eastern countries show better ESD outcomes compared to Western countries. Availability of local ESD expertise and regional outcomes should be considered for decision making to treat gastrointestinal lesions with ESD.

Abstract
Background Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been used to treat early stage esophageal cancer, but reports about additional esophagectomy after ESD and postoperative outcomes are lacking. Complete removal of cancer tissue together with lymph nodes was the advantage of esophagectomy; however, invasiveness, organ loss, postoperative complications, and worse postoperative quality of life were serious disadvantages. The purpose of this study was to find the clear indication of additional esophagectomy after ESD, and help the other patients avoid excessive surgery. Methods We reviewed the clinicopathologic data and outcomes consecutive patients who had esophageal cancer confirmed by endoscopic biopsy and who were treated with ESD and subsequent esophagectomy between October 2011 and December 2016 in our department. The esophagectomy necessity following ESD was defined and the groups with necessity (+) vs. (-) were compared retrospectively. The esophagectomy necessity outcomes were retrospectively analyzed to judge whether the surgery option was correct. Results Total 214 patients with esophageal and esophagogastric cancer have undergone ESD treatment in our center, of which 32 patients (23 men and 9 women; mean age, 60±8 years) ultimately required esophagectomy after ESD. All patients had complete resection (R0) from esophagectomy. Postoperative TNM staging included TisN0M0 (6 patients), T1aN0M0 (6 patients), T1bN0M0 (18 patients), T1bN1M0 (1 patient), and T2N3M0 (1 patient). Necessity of esophagectomy after ESD was associated with residual margin status. There was a significant difference in ESD specimen margin status between the esophagectomy necessity (+) vs. (-) groups (positive/negative margin: 8/3 vs. 2/9 patients; P=0.03). Esophagectomy should be delayed at least 30 days after ESD to enable resolution of esophageal edema (P=0.017) (206±68 vs. 163±56 mL, P=0.057). Median follow-up was 16.8 months (range, 11.2-54.5 months); 3 patients were lost to follow-up (9%) and 1 patient died of metastasis after esophagectomy. All other patients were alive with excellent postoperative disease-free survival. Conclusions Indications for esophagectomy after ESD include ESD failure, cancer recurrence, esophageal rupture, esophageal stricture refractory to endoscopic dilation, and residual tumor at the ESD specimen margin. Stage T1b alone is not an indication for esophagectomy. According to our study, we recommend that esophagectomy should be delayed ≥30 dafter ESD unless urgent esophagectomy is indicated.

Endoscopic submucosal dissection for Barrett's early neoplasia: a multicenter study in the United States. Gastrointest Endosc 2017; 86:600-607.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The role of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in Barrett's early neoplasia is not well defined, with most studies originating from Asia and Europe. We aimed to assess the efficacy, safety, and results of ESD in Barrett's esophagus (BE) with high-grade dysplasia (HGD) and early adenocarcinoma (EAC) across centers in the United States. METHODS Multicenter retrospective analysis on 46 patients with BE who underwent ESD for BE-HGD or EAC, or both, between January 2010 and April 2015. The primary endpoint was the rate of en bloc resection. Secondary aims included rate of R0 (complete) and curative resection, a comparison of pre- and post-ESD histology, procedure-related adverse events, and rate of remission at follow-up. RESULTS Median age was 69 years (range, 42-82 years). The median resected specimen size was 45 mm (range, 13-125 mm). En bloc and curative resection rates were 96% (44/46) and 70% (32/46), respectively. Most lesions (11/20; 55%) diagnosed as BE-HGD on biopsy were upstaged to intramucosal or invasive EAC on post-ESD histopathology. There were 4 early (<48 hours) adverse events (3 bleeding and 1 perforation), and all were treated endoscopically. Seven patients (15%) developed esophageal strictures that were managed endoscopically. Complete remission of BE neoplasia was found in 100% (32/32) of patients with curative resection at median follow-up of 11 months (range, 2-25 months). CONCLUSIONS This is the largest multicenter series of ESD for early neoplastic BE from the United States. ESD appears to be safe and effective, with high en bloc and curative resection rates in the treatment of early BE neoplasia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Endoscopic treatment is indicated for superficial Barrett's adenocarcinoma (BA) with a negligible risk of lymph node metastasis (LNM). However, risk factors associated with LNM in superficial BA are still not well characterized. The aim of the current study was to clarify risk factors for LNM of superficial BA. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective study was conducted in 87 consecutive patients with BA that was resected at National Cancer Center Hospital, Tokyo, Japan between 1990 and 2013. We assessed tumor size, macroscopic type, histological type, tumor depth of invasion, lymphovascular invasion and tumor location to analyze factors associated with LNM. Tumor location was classified into following 2 groups according to Siewert classification: 1) BA of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ-BA) as those having their center within 1 cm proximal from the EGJ; and 2) Esophageal-BA as those having their center at 1 cm or more proximal to the EGJ. EGJ was defined as distal end of the palisade vessels. RESULTS LNM was detected in 10 (11 %) patients. Univariable analysis revealed that tumor size, tumor depth of invasion, histological type of mixed differentiated and undifferentiated-type adenocarcinoma, lymphovascular invasion and tumor location of esophageal-BA were significantly associated with LNM. Multivariable analysis revealed that tumor location of esophageal-BA [odds ratio 7.8 (95 %CI: 1.3 - 48.1)] was a potential risk factor for LNM. CONCLUSIONS The current study demonstrated that tumor location is a potential risk factor for LNM in BA. Therefore, indications for endoscopic treatment of esophageal-BA and EGJ-BA could be different.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical resection for esophagogastric junction (EGJ) tumors is more aggressive and worsens the quality of life of the patients and leads to poor prognosis even after surgery compared with tumors in other sites of the stomach. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a widely accepted treatment modality for premalignant lesions and early cancers in the stomach. However, EGJ tumor is one of the most technically difficult lesions to resect by ESD. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic outcomes of ESD for EGJ epithelial neoplasms and to assess the predictive factors for incomplete resection. METHODS We conducted a retrospective observational study of 48 patients who underwent ESD for adenomas and early cancers of the EGJ between March 2006 and November 2015 at the Pusan National University Hospital. Therapeutic outcomes of ESD and procedure-related adverse events were analyzed. RESULTS En bloc resection, complete resection, and curative resection rates were 96, 77, and 71%, respectively. Multivariate analyses showed that the presence of ulceration was an independent predictive factor for incomplete resection (odds ratio 21.3, 95% confidence interval 1.51-298.49; p = 0.023). The procedure-related bleeding, perforation, and stenosis rates were 8, 4, and 0%, respectively; none of the adverse events required surgical intervention. During a median follow-up period of 25 months (range 6-72 months), local recurrence occurred in four patients with incomplete resection. CONCLUSION ESD is an effective, safe, and feasible treatment for EGJ epithelial neoplasms. However, the complete resection rate decreases for tumors with ulceration.

Abstract
Esophagogastric junction (EGJ) adenocarcinoma has been on the increase in Western countries. However, in Asian countries, data on the incidence of EGJ adenocarcinoma are evidently lacking. In the present review, we focus on the current clinical situation of EGJ adenocarcinoma in three Asian countries: Japan, Hong Kong, and Malaysia. The incidence of EGJ adenocarcinoma has been reported to be gradually increasing in Malaysia and Japan, whereas it has stabilized in Hong Kong. However, the number of cases in these countries is comparatively low compared with Western countries. A reason for the reported difference in the incidence and time trend of EGJ adenocarcinoma among the three countries may be explained by two distinct etiologies: one arising from chronic gastritis similar to distal gastric cancer, and the other related to gastroesophageal reflux disease similar to esophageal adenocarcinoma including Barrett's adenocarcinoma. This review also shows that there are several concerns in clinical practice for EGJ adenocarcinoma. In Hong Kong and Malaysia, many EGJ adenocarcinomas have been detected at a stage not amenable to endoscopic resection. In Japan, histological curability criteria for endoscopic resection cases have not been established. We suggest that an international collaborative study using the same definition of EGJ adenocarcinoma may be helpful not only for clarifying the characteristics of these cancers but also for improving the clinical outcome of these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has become accepted as the standard treatment for early gastric cancer. However, comparative outcomes of ESD and surgery have not been evaluated for adenocarcinoma in the esophagogastric junction (EGJ). We investigated the long-term outcomes of ESD compared with those of surgery for adenocarcinoma in the EGJ. METHODS Patients who underwent ESD or surgery for Siewert type II adenocarcinoma between 2005 and 2010 and who met the absolute and expanded criteria for endoscopic resection were eligible. Clinical features and treatment outcomes were retrospectively reviewed using medical records. RESULTS Of the 79 patients included, 40 underwent ESD and 39 underwent surgery. During the median follow-up period of 60.9 months (range, 13.1-125.4 months), the 5-year overall survival rates were 93.9% and 97.3% for the ESD and surgery groups, respectively (p = 0.376). There were no gastric cancer-related deaths in either group. Adverse events occurred in 11 patients (13.9%) overall, and the incidence of treatment-related adverse events was similar between the two groups (10.0% vs. 17.9%, p = 0.308). CONCLUSIONS ESD may be an effective alternative to surgery for the treatment of early gastric cancer in the EGJ based on the comparable long-term outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To retrospectively investigate the clinicopathological features and prognosis of early esophageal squamous cell neoplasm (ESCN) treated with endoscopic resection (ER), especially, to compare the prognosis in patients with sm2 cancer and non-sm2 cancer. METHODS From 2007 to 2013, 368 patients were included in our analysis. RESULTS The patients were 252 (68.5 %) men and 116 (31.5 %) women with a median age of 61 (range 16-84 years) years. Hyperplasia, mild dysplasia, moderate dysplasia, severe dysplasia, m1, m2, m3, sm1, and sm2 were diagnosed in 47 (12.8 %), 27 (7.3 %), 34 (9.2 %), 61 (16.6 %), 54 (14.7 %), 38 (10.3 %), 63 (17.1 %), 12 (3.3 %), and 32 (8.7 %) cases. The mean (range) follow-up time was 29 (0-84) months. The cumulative overall 1-, 3-, and 5-year metachronous esophageal lesion rates were 4.1, 12.9, and 32.6 %. The incidence of lymph node or distant metastasis was 1.54 % in m3, 6.25 % in sm2, and 0 in other subgroups. The overall 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates were 99.5, 97.3, and 87.5 %. There was significant difference between sm2 and non-sm2 patients in metastatic rate (P = 0.021); however, no difference existed between m3 patients and sm2 patients (P = 0.252). The difference of metachronous esophageal lesion (P = 0.401) and survival (P = 0.634) between sm2 and non-sm2 patients was not obvious. CONCLUSIONS Our study showed that ER was an effective and relatively safe treatment for superficial ESCN. ER is still appropriate in select sm2 patients. To monitor the second primary cancer in sm2 is necessary during the follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for adenocarcinoma in the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) is a technically difficult procedure. We analyzed the long-term clinical outcomes of ESD for adenocarcinoma in the EGJ to determine the feasibility of this treatment approach. METHODS Subjects who underwent ESD for Siewert type II adenocarcinoma between December 2004 and December 2011 were eligible for this study. Clinical features and treatment outcomes were retrospectively reviewed using medical records. RESULTS A total of 88 subjects underwent ESD at our institute. The median patient age was 66 years (interquartile range [IQR] 59-71 years), and the male-to-female ratio was 10.0:1. The median tumor diameter was 20 mm (IQR 14-25 mm), and the median procedure time was 40 min (IQR 30-60 min). Adverse events occurred in nine patients (10.2 %), namely bleeding (n = 6) and suspicious microperforation (n = 3). En bloc, complete, and curative resection rates were 88.6 % (78/88), 83.0 % (73/88), and 60.2 % (53/88), respectively. In multivariate analysis, undifferentiated histology (P = 0.009) and elevated lesions (P = 0.011) were factors associated with noncurative resection. During a median follow-up period of 68.5 months, local tumor recurrence was detected in two patients (2.4 %), and the 5-year overall and disease-specific survival rates were 96.6 and 100.0 %, respectively. CONCLUSIONS ESD for the treatment of EGJ cancer may be an effective and safe treatment strategy based on favorable long-term outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) carries significant advantages over endoscopic mucosal resection. As such, ESD is an established therapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma but there are only limited data on ESD as therapy for Barrett's esophagus (BE). Thus, we prospectively evaluated the outcomes of ESD in patients with BE with high-grade dysplasia (HGD) and early esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) performed in a Western center. PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a prospective cohort study. Indications for ESD included: (1) early EAC defined as lesions with intramucosal cancer or superficial submucosal invasion; (2) early EAC with positive lateral margin after EMR; and (3) nodularity with HGD that could not be removed en-bloc with EMR Results: From October 2013 to July 2015, 36 consecutive patients (median age 69, 32 males) underwent ESD at our center. Median procedure time was 88 minutes, with median maximal diameter of resected specimens of 49 mm. En-bloc, R0, and curative resection rates were 100 %, 81 %, and 69 %, respectively. Intramucosal EAC was found in 13 patients (36 %), and submucosal invasion in 13 patients (36 %). In 59 % of the cases, there was discrepancy in the pre- and post-ESD histopathologic diagnosis. Adverse events occurred in 8 patients (22 %), including one episode of bleeding treated with endoscopy and seven esophageal strictures, which were successfully managed with dilations. CONCLUSIONS ESD for BE with HGD/early EAC is feasible and safe with resulting very high en-bloc and R0 resection rates. ESD provided for more accurate pathologic evaluation and significant discrepancy between the pre- and post-ESD histopathological diagnosis was noted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Superficial Barrett's esophageal adenocarcinoma (s-BEA) in Barrett's esophagus frequently occurs in the right wall of the esophagus. Our aim was to examine the correlation between the location of s-BEA and the direction of acid and non-acid reflux in patients with Barrett's esophagus. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed 24-h pH monitoring in 33 s-BEA patients using a pH catheter with eight sensors. One sensor was located at the 6 o'clock position in the lower esophagus and sensors 1 - 8 were arranged counterclockwise at the same level. The catheter was positioned at the same level as the s-BEA. We measured the maximal total duration of acid (MTD-A) and non-acid (MTD-NA) reflux. When the direction of MTD-A and MTD-NA coincided with the location of the s-BEA, the case was defined as coincidental and we calculated the rate of coincidence, and the probability of the rate of coincidence was estimated with 95 % confidence intervals (95 %CI). RESULTS Among the 33 cases of s-BEA examined, the rate of coincidence of both MTD-A and MTD-NA was 24/33 (72.7 %) (95 %CI 0.54 - 0.87). The rate of coincidence of either MTD-A or MTD-NA was 30/33 (90.9 %) (95 %CI 0.76 - 0.98). CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed that the location of s-BEA mostly corresponds to the direction of MTD-A or MTD-NA. Accurate observation of the distribution of acid or non-acid reflux by pH monitoring would aid early detection of s-BEA by endoscopy.

Abstract
ESD is an established effective treatment modality for premalignant and early-stage malignant lesions of the stomach, esophagus, and colorectum. Compared with EMR, ESD is generally associated with higher rates of en bloc, R0, and curative resections and a lower rate of local recurrence. Oncologic outcomes with ESD compare favorably with competing surgical interventions, and ESD also serves as an excellent T-staging tool to identify noncurative resections that will require further treatment. ESD is technically demanding and has a higher rate of adverse events than most endoscopic procedures including EMR. As such,sufficient training is critical to ensure safe conduct and high-quality resections. A standardized training model for Western endoscopists has not been clearly established,but will be self-directed and include courses, animal model training, and optimally an observership at an expert center.Numerous dedicated ESD devices are now available in the United States from different manufacturers. Although the use of ESD in the United States is increasing, issues related to technical difficulty, limited training opportunities and mentors, risk of adverse events, long procedure duration,and suboptimal reimbursement may limit ESD adoption in the United States to a modest number of academic referral centers for the foreseeable future.

Abstract
Tumors of the gastric cardia are among the most technically difficult lesions to remove by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic outcomes of ESD in gastric cardia tumors according to clinicopathologic characteristics, and to assess the predictive factors for incomplete resection.We conducted a retrospective observational study of 82 patients with adenomas and early cancers of the gastric cardia who underwent ESD between January 2006 and December 2013 at the Pusan National University Hospital. Therapeutic outcomes of ESD and procedure-related complications were analyzed.En bloc resection, complete resection, and curative resection rates were 87%, 79%, and 66%, respectively. Deep submucosal invasion was the most common cause of noncurative resection in the cases in which complete resection was achieved. On multivariate analyses, hemispheric distribution (anterior hemisphere; odds ratio [OR] 4.808) and depth of tumor invasion (submucosal cancer; OR 22.056) were independent factors associated with incomplete resection. The rates of procedure-related bleeding, perforation, and stenosis were 6%, 1%, and 0%, respectively; none of the complications required surgical intervention.In conclusion, ESD is a safe, effective, and feasible treatment for gastric cardia tumors. However, the complete resection rate decreases for tumors that are located in the anterior hemisphere or have deep submucosal invasion.

Abstract
Early esophageal cancer is confined to the mucosa or submucosa of the esophagus. While most esophageal cancer is detected at an advanced stage (requiring surgical resection, chemotherapy, and radiation), early-stage mucosal lesions may be detected through Barrett's surveillance programs or incidentally on diagnostic upper endoscopies performed for other reasons. These early-stage cancers are often amenable to endoscopic therapies, including mucosal resection, ablation, and cryotherapy. Studies suggest equivalent survival rates and reduced morbidity but higher recurrence rates with endoscopic removal of early-stage cancers compared to surgical resection. There is emerging data regarding the efficacy and long-term outcomes of endoscopic therapy for early esophageal cancer that is promising, and further research is needed to better define the role of endoscopic therapy in the management of early esophageal cancer.

Abstract
A major paradigm shift has occurred in the management of dysplastic Barrett's esophagus (BE) and early esophageal carcinoma. Endoscopic therapy has now emerged as the standard of care for this disease entity. Endoscopic resection techniques like endoscopic mucosal resection and endoscopic submucosal dissection combined with ablation techniques help achieve long-term curative success comparable with surgical outcomes, in this subgroup of patients. This article is an in-depth review of these endoscopic resection techniques, highlighting their role and value in the overall management of BE-related dysplasia and neoplasia.

Abstract
Endoscopic resection (ER) is at present an accepted treatment for superficial gastrointestinal neoplasia. ER provides similar efficacy to surgery; however, it is minimally invasive and less expensive. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is superior to biopsy for diagnosing advanced dysplasia and can change the diagnostic grade and the management. Several EMR techniques have been described that are alternatively used dependent upon the endoscopist personal experience, the anatomic conditions and the endoscopic appearance of the lesion to be resected. The literature suggests that EMR offers comparable outcomes to surgery for selected indications. EMR techniques using a cap fitted endoscope and EMR using a ligation device [multiband mucosectomy (MBM)] are the most frequently use. MBM technique does not require submucosal injection as with the endoscopic resection-cap technique, multiple resections can be performed with the same snare, pre-looping the endoscopic resection-snare in the ridge of the cap is not necessary, MBM does not require withdrawal of the endoscope between resections and up to six consecutive resections can be performed. This reduces the time and cost required for the procedure, while also reducing patient discomfort. Despite the increasing popularity of MBM, data on the safety and efficacy of this technique in upper gastrointestinal lesions with advanced dysplasia, defined as those lesions that have high-grade dysplasia or early cancer, is limited.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although endoscopic submucosal dissection has become widely used for the management of selected cases of early gastric cancer, the effects of endoscopic submucosal dissection for esophagogastric junction cancer have not been fully evaluated. METHODS Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched using the primary keywords "endoscopic submucosal dissection," "ESD," "endoscopic resection," "esophagogastric junction," "gastroesophageal junction," and "Barrett." Six short-term clinical outcomes and three long-term oncologic outcomes were extracted. RESULTS A total of six studies provided data on 359 early stage esophagogastric junction cancers treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection. The pooled estimate of en bloc resection and complete resection was 98.6% (95% confidence interval 95.9-99.6%) and 87.0% (95% confidence interval 79.7-92.0%), respectively. The pooled estimate of stenosis was 6.9% (95% confidence interval 3.2-14.0%). In 269 lesions with curative resection, there was no local recurrence or distant metastasis. In contrast, three local recurrences and two distant metastases occurred in 90 lesions with non-curative resection. CONCLUSIONS Endoscopic submucosal dissection for early stage esophagogastric junction cancer is a feasible treatment option with high en bloc resection, complete resection rates and an acceptable range of complications. When curative resections are achieved, good oncologic outcomes are likely in the management of early stage esophagogastric junction cancer by endoscopic submucosal dissection.

Abstract
The incidence of esophageal cancer has been increasing while the prognosis remains very poor. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was developed in Japan for en bloc resection of early gastric cancer with excellent results. The use of ESD in early squamous cell cancer (SCC) of the esophagus in Japan has been increasing with long-term results comparable to those in early gastric cancer. The use of ESD in Barrett's neoplasia in western countries has been challenged by the low complete resection rates and the risk of metachronous lesions from surrounding non-dysplastic Barrett's epithelium. Efforts to combine ESD with other treatment modalities such as radiofrequency ablation in Barrett's neoplasia and chemoradiation in SCC appear to be promising. The use of steroid therapy (local or systemic) has been demonstrated to prevent post-ESD stenosis, which is the most common complication after esophageal ESD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Although endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has grown popular in resecting lesions in the stomach, the application of ESD to the esophagus has been limited by greater technical difficulty. An increasing number of series have recently reported the application of ESD to esophageal lesions. The aim of the present systemic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ESD for esophageal lesions. METHODS Comprehensive literature searches (1999-2012) were performed on studies that reported ESD for the removal of esophageal neoplasia. Primary outcome measures were pooled estimates of complete resection rate and en bloc resection rate. Secondary outcome measures were pooled estimates of complication rates. RESULTS A total of 15 studies provided data on 776 ESD-treated lesions. The pooled estimate of complete resection rate was 89.4% (95% CI 86.2-91.9%). The pooled estimate of en bloc resection was 95.1% (95% CI 92.6-96.8%). The pooled estimates of complications of ESD such as bleeding, perforation, and stenosis were 2.1, 5.0, and 11.6%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS ESD appeared to be an extremely effective technique to achieve complete resection of esophageal neoplasia. The very low rate of complications also shows the potential safety of this approach.
