Project description:Liposarcoma is one of the most common soft tissue sarcomas occurring in adults, but it rarely occurs in the gastrointestinal tract and more uncommonly in the esophagus. To the best of our knowledge, there are only 19 reported cases of esophageal liposarcoma in the literature published in English language up to the year 2008, and they were all treated by surgical methods. Here, we report a case of primary liposarcoma of the esophagus which was treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). ESD was well tolerated in this patient, suggesting that it may be a therapeutic option for primary esophageal sarcomas.

Endoscopic Submucosal Tunnel Dissection as a Novel Therapeutic Technique in Patients With Barrett's Esophagus.

Project description:With the ameliorated resectability prowess of endoscopic techniques, a myriad of diseases previously treated by major ablative surgeries are now endoscopically curable. Endoscopic submucosal tunnel dissection (ESTD) is a relatively new technique that has diversified endoscopic application. Although ESTD has frequently been used for the resection of esophageal neoplastic lesions, the clinical evidence pertaining to its efficacy in the treatment of circumferential Barrett's esophagus remains sparse. In this study, we evaluated ESTD as a potential therapeutic technique in patients with Barrett's esophagus-related high-grade dysplasia. The tunneling strategy helped achieve complete en bloc resection at an increased dissection speed, without any procedural complications. This article illustrates that ESTD can be a feasible, safe, and effective treatment for dysplastic Barrett's esophagus. Future research should aim to stratify the potential risks and complications associated with this optimization of endoscopic submucosal dissection in patients with superficial esophageal lesions.

Efficacy and safety of endoscopic submucosal dissection for superficial cancer of the cervical esophagus.

Project description:Cervical esophageal cancer (CEC) is a less common form of cancer and often locally advanced at the time of diagnosis; thus, survival rates for patients with CEC remain poor. However, no reports exist on results of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for superficial cancer at the cervical esophagus. The aim of this retrospective study was to elucidate the clinicopathological features and clinical outcomes of ESD for superficial CEC. ESD was performed on 891 lesions (in 662 patients) for superficial esophageal cancer from January 2008 to December 2015. Of these, 45 lesions (45 patients) were enrolled in the case group (CEC), and 405 lesions (375 patients) were enrolled in the control group (superficial cancer in the middle thoracic esophagus). The safety of ESD, including R0 resection rate and adverse events, and the efficacy, such as the local recurrence rate and overall survival rate, were evaluated. The R0 resection rate was 91.1 % in the case group and 96 % in the control group. The rate of esophageal stricture was significantly higher in the case group (20 %) than in the control group (6.6 %). There was no local recurrence, and the 3-year survival rate was 88.4 % in the case group and 96.7 % in the control group.ESD for superficial cancer in the cervical esophagus was achieved safely, and successful local control was also confirmed. However, the esophageal stricture after ESD was more frequent.

Successful esophageal endoscopic submucosal dissection with intraoperative release of stenosis due to previous endoscopic submucosal dissection scarring.

Project description:Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is the standard endoscopic treatment for early esophageal cancer. Esophageal stricture often occurs at the site of ESD for large lesions. When treating a metachronous lesion appearing at the severe stricture, it may be difficult to negotiate a conventional endoscope through the stricture. Using a thin endoscope may be a useful strategy for such lesions, though ESD using a thin endoscope is challenging because of poor maneuverability. Herein, we report a case of successful ESD for early esophageal cancer at the severe stricture, using a conventional endoscope. A 72-year-old man with a previous history of ESD for esophageal cancer and a post-ESD esophageal stricture was referred to our hospital for metachronous early esophageal cancer. The lesion, 10 mm in diameter, was located at the stricture with a slight distal extension. Conventional endoscopes could not be negotiated through stricture. Therefore, submucosal dissection was performed from the oral to the anal aspect of the lesion, as far as possible. After completion of submucosal dissection of the oral aspect of the lesion and part of the lesion located on the stricture, the severe stricture was released, allowing the passage of conventional endoscope, and ESD of the entire lesion was completed en bloc. Histopathological examination showed squamous cell carcinoma, pT1a-LPM. Stricture due to scarring may occur during the regeneration process of the defective mucosa, muscularis mucosa, and submucosal layer. Therefore, incision and dissection of the contracted mucosa, mucularis mucosa, and submucosal layer would release the stenosis.

Histological changes in the human esophagus following triamcinolone injection to prevent esophageal stricture after endoscopic submucosal dissection.

Project description:BackgroundLocoregional steroid injection prevents post-endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) esophageal stricture, but histological changes that occur following steroid injection in the human esophagus are unclear. This study investigated the histopathological characteristics caused by locoregional triamcinolone acetonide (TA) injection using human esophagectomy specimens.MethodsFrom January 2014 to December 2019, among 297 patients (373 lesions) who underwent esophageal ESD, 13 patients who underwent additional esophagectomy after ESD were examined. Seven patients (TA group) with wide excisions were injected with TA after ESD and another six patients (Non-TA group) with smaller tumors were not injected with TA. The clinical background of these patients and histopathological features of ESD ulcer scar obtained from esophagectomy specimens were retrospectively investigated.ResultsThe circumferential rate of ESD excision was more than three-quarters in all cases in the TA group, whereas it was less than three-quarters in the Non-TA group. No other statistical difference in the clinical background was found between the two groups. The subepithelial fibrous tissue of the ESD ulcer scar in the TA group was significantly thinner than that in the Non-TA group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the thickness of the regenerated epithelium and muscularis propria layer of the ESD ulcer scar.ConclusionsHistological finding of thinning of the subepithelial fibrous tissue of ESD ulcer scar in the human esophagus after TA injection was obtained. This suggests that TA suppresses the proliferation of the fibrous tissue of the subepithelial layer to help prevent esophageal stricture after widespread ESD in the human esophagus.
