Role of magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging in the diagnosis of noninvasive gastric neoplasia.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aim

There are no globally approved, distinguishing criteria enabling the classification of gastric adenomas and intramucosal carcinomas for differential diagnosis of noninvasive neoplasia (NIN).

Methods

Next-generation sequencing of 50 cancer-related genes was undertaken on 68 pathologically diagnosed microdissected gastric neoplasms (25 adenomas, 27 intramucosal carcinomas, and 16 submucosal carcinomas) obtained during endoscopic submucosal dissection. Findings from magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (M-NBI) of 52 NINs (the 25 adenomas and 27 intramucosal carcinomas) were compared with these data.

Results

Among all 68 neoplasms, the most frequently mutated genes were APC (76% in adenoma, 11.1% in intramucosal carcinoma, and 0% in submucosal carcinoma; P < 0.001) and TP53 in intramucosal and submucosal carcinomas (8% in adenoma, 48.1% in intramucosal carcinoma, and 75% in submucosal carcinoma; P < 0.001). Dividing the NIN neoplasms into five groups according to their mutational status (A1: APC mutation, A2: APC + α mutation, B: APC + TP53 mutation, C: TP53 mutation, D: no mutation in either APC or TP53) resulted in almost identical diagnoses by pathology and M-NBI for groups A1 (12/13, 92%), C (12/13, 92%), and D (16/17, 94%) but not for groups A2 (3/7, 43%) or B (0/2, 0%). This finding implies that NINs with the APC + α mutation have carcinoma-like endoscopic features despite most being judged as adenomas by pathology.

Conclusion

A diagnosis of NINs by pathology or M-NBI in the subset of gastric tumors classified by cancer-related mutations is not completely identical, suggesting the possible additional role of M-NBI in diagnosing NINs. Further studies are needed to confirm this.

Project description:OBJECTIVES: Magnifying narrow-band imaging (M-NBI) is more accurate than white-light imaging for diagnosing small gastric cancers. However, it is uncertain whether moving M-NBI images have additional effects in the diagnosis of gastric cancers compared with still images. DESIGN: A prospective multicenter cohort study. METHODS: To identify the additional benefits of moving M-NBI images by comparing the diagnostic accuracy of still images only with that of both still and moving images. Still and moving M-NBI images of 40 gastric lesions were obtained by an expert endoscopist prior to this prospective multicenter cohort study. Thirty-four endoscopists from ten different Japanese institutions participated in the prospective multicenter cohort study. Each study participant was first tested using only still M-NBI images (still image test), then tested 1 month later using both still and moving M-NBI images (moving image test). The main outcome was a difference in the diagnostic accuracy of cancerous versus noncancerous lesions between the still image test and the moving image test. RESULTS: Thirty-four endoscopists were analysed. There were no significant difference of cancerous versus noncancerous lesions between still and moving image tests in the diagnostic accuracy (59.9% versus 61.5%), sensitivity (53.4% versus 55.9%), and specificity (67.0% versus 67.6%). And there were no significant difference in the diagnostic accuracy between still and moving image tests of demarcation line (65.4% versus 65.5%), microvascular pattern (56.7% versus 56.9%), and microsurface pattern (48.1% versus 50.9%). Diagnostic accuracy showed no significant difference between the still and moving image tests in the subgroups of endoscopic findings of the lesions. CONCLUSIONS: The addition of moving M-NBI images to still M-NBI images does not improve the diagnostic accuracy for gastric lesions. It is reasonable to concentrate on taking sharp still M-NBI images during endoscopic observation and use them for diagnosis. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Umin.ac.jp UMIN-CTR000008048.
