Diagnosis of histological type of early gastric cancer by magnifying narrow-band imaging: A multicenter prospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Distinguishing undifferentiated-type from differentiated-type early gastric cancers (EGC) is crucial for determining the indication of endoscopic resection. We aimed to investigate the diagnostic performance of white-light endoscopy (WLE) and magnifying narrow-band imaging (M-NBI) for the histological type of EGC.

Methods

In this multicenter prospective study, patients with histologically proven cT1 EGC, macroscopically depressed or flat type, size ≥5 mm, and without erosion/ulcer, were recruited. The diagnostic criterion of WLE for undifferentiated-type EGC was pale color. The M-NBI algorithm was created based on microsurface and microvascular patterns, and lesions with absent microsurface pattern and opened-loop microvascular patterns were diagnosed as undifferentiated-type. The center of the lesion was defined as the evaluation point and was initially evaluated by WLE, then by M-NBI, and a biopsy specimen was taken as a reference standard. The primary and key secondary endpoints were overall diagnostic accuracy and specificity, respectively.

Results

In total, 167 lesions (122 differentiated-type and 45 undifferentiated-type EGCs) in 167 patients were analyzed. The overall accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and positive likelihood ratio of WLE for undifferentiated-type cancer were 80%, 69%, 84%, and 4.4, respectively, and those of M-NBI were 82%, 53%, 93%, and 7.2, respectively. There was no significant difference in overall accuracy (p = 0.755), but specificity was significantly higher in M-NBI (p = 0.041).

Conclusions

The use of M-NBI did not improve the accuracy of WLE for the diagnosis of depressed/flat undifferentiated-type EGCs but improved the specificity. It may reduce surgical overtreatment by preventing misdiagnosis of differentiated-type EGC as undifferentiated-type.

Project description:ObjectivesMagnifying 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.DesignA prospective multicenter cohort study.MethodsTo 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.ResultsThirty-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.ConclusionsThe 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 registrationUmin.ac.jp UMIN-CTR000008048.

Project description:BackgroundThe effect of Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) eradication therapy on mixed-histological-type gastric cancer remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify the effect of H. pylori eradication therapy on mixed-histological-type early gastric cancer using endoscopic and histological findings.MethodsThis single-center, retrospective study included patients with mixed-histological-type gastric cancer who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection at the Cancer Institute Hospital. We compared detailed magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging findings between eradicated and non-eradicated groups of patients with differentiated-type- and undifferentiated-type-predominant cancers. Subsequently, we performed histological evaluations of the non-cancerous epithelium covering differentiated-type components.ResultsA total of 124 patients with mixed-type early gastric cancer were enrolled (eradicated group: 62 differentiated-type-predominant cancer patients and 8 undifferentiated-type-predominant cancer patients; non-eradication group: 40 differentiated-type-predominant cancer patients and 14 undifferentiated-type-predominant cancer patients). Regarding differentiated-type-predominant cancer, differentiated-type findings were detected in all patients in eradicated and non-eradicated groups. The difference in the detection rate of undifferentiated-type findings between both groups was not significant in differentiated-type-predominant cancer patients. In differentiated-type-predominant cancers, the percentage of non-cancerous epithelium covering differentiated-type components was higher in the eradicated group than in the non-eradicated group (median: 60% vs. 40%, p < 0.001).ConclusionsAlthough the pathological findings of differentiated-type-predominant cancer were affected by H. pylori eradication, eradication did not affect the diagnosis of differentiated-type-predominant early gastric cancer using magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging. ME-NBI is useful for the early detection of D-MIX EGCs and diagnosis of histological types during endoscopy, regardless of whether H. pylori eradication therapy has been administered.
