Project description:Superficial colonic neoplasms sometimes extend into a diverticulum. Conventional endoscopic mucosal resection of these lesions is considered challenging because colonic diverticula do not have a muscularis propria and are deeply inverted. Even if the solution is carefully injected below the mucosa at the bottom of the diverticulum, the mucosa is rarely elevated from the diverticular orifice, and it is usually just narrowed. Although endoscopic submucosal dissection or full-thickness resection with an over-the-scope clip device enables the complete resection of these lesions, it is still challenging, time consuming and expensive. Underwater endoscopic mucosal resection without submucosal injection (UEMR) is an innovative technique enabling en bloc resection of superficial colon lesions. We report three patients with colon adenomas extending into a diverticulum treated with successful UEMR. UEMR enabled rapid and safe en bloc resection of colon lesions extending into a diverticulum.

Project description:Opinion statementWith the widespread use of esophagogastroduodenoscopy in recent years, the detection rate of superficial non-ampullary duodenal epithelial tumors (SNADETs) is increasing. Most SNADETs are early-stage adenocarcinoma or benign conditions, including adenoma. Therefore, endoscopic resection is desirable from the perspective of quality of life. However, endoscopic resection for SNADETs has not yet been established. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is the most promising method for the treatment of SNADETs, because ESD provides a high rate of en bloc resection and a low rate of recurrence regardless of the tumor size. However, the difficulty of the procedure and a high rate of severe adverse events including perforation and bleeding have become major problems. Various preventive countermeasures for adverse events, such as use of specific devices, endoscope stabilization methods, and endoscopic closure of the post-ESD ulcer using clips, are reported to reduce the risk of the adverse events of ESD for SNADETs. This article reviews and highlights the current state of ESD for SNADETs and new challenges towards safe and effective ESD.

Project description:RationaleEndoscopic resection of superficial non-ampullary duodenal epithelial neoplasm (SNADEN) is a challenging procedure owing to the high recurrence rate and considerable incidence rate of adverse events.Patient concernsSNADEN accidentally found during a medical examination in a 56-year-old man.DiagnosisThe patient was diagnosed as having a 20-mm-sized flat elevated SNADEN at the superior duodenal angle.InterventionsFirst, we tried to perform conventional EMR (CEMR). However, the submucosal injection interrupted the endoscopic view and did not provide enough space for CEMR because of its angulated location. Therefore, we chose to perform endoscopic resection using the "loop-and-let-go" technique. Follow-up duodenoscopy after 2 days revealed post CEMR ulcer with suspicious remnant lesion. Underwater endoscopic mucosal resection (UEMR) was successfully performed 3 months after the first session of endoscopic resection.OutcomesComplete endoscopic en bloc resection and histological complete resection were achieved with UEMR. Follow-up duodenoscopy revealed no recurrence.LessonsStep-by-step endoscopic treatment with UEMR following loop-and-let-go technique may be a good strategy for SNADEN over 20-mm in diameter.

Project description:Recently, traction-assisted endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) using a clip and thread was reported as useful for treating lesions in the esophagus, stomach, and colorectum in terms of shortening the duration of the procedures and reducing the risk of intraoperative perforation. However, no traction method using the thread and clip for duodenal ESD as described in this article has been reported to date. We report a case in which traction-assisted ESD using dental floss and a clip was successfully performed on a huge superficial nonampullary duodenal epithelial tumor accompanied by severe fibrosis caused by preoperative biopsies. A 65-year-old woman had a 55-mm flat-elevated tumor in the second part of the duodenum. Severe fibrosis of the submucosal layer was expected due to repeated biopsies at the same site by the patient's previous endoscopist. We selected ESD for this lesion, and the initial incision was started from the side proximal to the lesion, but it was difficult to insert the scope under the submucosal layer directly beneath the biopsy scar. Therefore, traction with an endoclip and dental floss was performed to lift the lesion. Excellent traction allowed safe resection of the fibrotic part under accurate visual observation. Finally, the lesion was resected en bloc without adverse events. Traction-assisted ESD using dental floss and a clip is likely to be an effective adjunctive technique for quick, safe, and successful resection of lesions in the duodenum on which it is difficult to perform ordinary ESD and that have a high probability of intraoperative perforation and massive bleeding.

Project description:Underwater endoscopic mucosal resection (UEMR) has become a popular endoscopic resection method for large colorectal neoplasms. However, visualization can be poor during UEMR due to the presence of intestinal fluid. Gel immersion endoscopic mucosal resection (GIEMR), using a specially developed gel (Viscoclear®, Otsuka Pharmaceutical Factory, Tokushima, Japan), can improve the visual field. However, reports of GIEMR for colorectal polyps are limited. Herein, we evaluated the short-term outcomes of GIEMR for non-pedunculated colorectal neoplasms (NPCRN). This single-center, retrospective, and observational study includes 25 lesions in 20 patients with NPCRN who underwent GIEMR between January and October 2022. The short-term outcomes and adverse events were evaluated. The lesion locations were as follows: right colon, 18 lesions; left colon, 7 lesions; and rectum, none. The median tumor diameter was 15 (IQR, 10-18) mm. Histological classification was as follows: sessile serrated lesion, 9 cases; adenoma, 12 cases; and intramucosal adenocarcinoma, 4 cases. The overall en bloc resection rates and R0 resection rates were 80% (20/25) and 72% (18/25). For NPCRN in 10-19 mm, the en bloc resection rate was 75% (12/16), with an R0 resection rate of 69% (11/16). No post-polypectomy bleeding, perforation, or post-coagulation syndrome were observed. The findings of our study provide preliminary evidence of the efficacy and safety of GIEMR for NPCRN. Therefore, GIEMR may be a promising novel endoscopic resection method for NPCRN.

Project description:A 66-year-old male was referred to our hospital for treatment of duodenal tumor. The most difficult part was that the lesion was adjacent to duodenal diverticulum. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) was difficult because submucosal injection spread broadly and quickly and makes it difficult to visualize the diverticulum edge of the lesion. Simple underwater EMR (UEMR) had risk for perforation at the diverticulum part because duodenal diverticulum is spurious diverticulum that defects the proper muscle layer. Therefore, to make sufficient distance between diverticulum and the lesion, we performed partial submucosal injection into only the diverticulum side of the lesion combined with simple UEMR. The lesion was resected en bloc without any adverse events. Histopathological diagnosis was tubular adenoma with moderate atypia and surgical margin negative. Partial submucosal injection combined with simple UEMR might be useful for duodenal tumor that has any technical difficulties as in this case.

Project description:IntroductionThe genomic characterization of primary nonampullary duodenal adenocarcinoma indicates a genetic resemblance to gastric and colorectal cancers. However, a correlation between the clinical and molecular characteristics of these cancers has not been established. This study aimed to elucidate the clinicopathological features of sporadic nonampullary duodenal epithelial tumors, including their molecular characteristics and prognostic factors.MethodsOne hundred forty-eight patients with sporadic nonampullary duodenal epithelial tumors were examined in this study. Patient sex, age, TNM stage, tumor location, treatment methods, histology, KRAS mutation, BRAF mutation, Fusobacterium nucleatum, mucin phenotype, and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) status were evaluated. KRAS and BRAF mutations, Fusobacterium nucleatum, mucin phenotype, and PD-L1 status were analyzed by direct sequencing, quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and immunochemical staining.ResultsThe median follow-up duration was 119.4 months. There were no deaths from duodenal adenoma (the primary disease). Kaplan-Meier analysis for duodenal adenocarcinoma showed a significant effect of TNM stage (P < 0.01). In univariate analysis of primary deaths from duodenal adenocarcinoma, TNM stage II or higher, undifferentiated, KRAS mutations, gastric phenotype, intestinal phenotype, and PD-L1 status were significant factors. In multivariate analysis, TNM stage II or higher (hazard ratio: 1.63 × 1010, 95% confidence interval: 18.66-6.69 × 1036) and KRAS mutation (hazard ratio: 3.49, confidence interval: 1.52-7.91) were significant factors.DiscussionOnly KRAS mutation was a significant prognostic factor in primary sporadic nonampullary duodenal adenocarcinoma in cases in which TNM stage was considered.
