Relationship between indeterminate or positive lateral margin and local recurrence after endoscopic resection of colorectal polyps.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: Although endoscopic resection is widely used for the treatment of superficial colorectal neoplasms, the rate of local recurrence of lesions with a positive or indeterminate lateral margin on histologic evaluation is unclear. We aimed to demonstrate the relationship between lateral margin status and local recurrence after the endoscopic resection of intramucosal colorectal neoplasms. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively collected the clinical and pathologic data for 844 endoscopically resected colorectal intramucosal neoplasms with a size of 10 mm or larger. We investigated the relationship between the local recurrence rate and the lateral margin status (categorized as LM0 [negative], LM1 [positive], or LMX [indeterminate]). RESULTS: In total, 389 lesions were evaluated as LM0 and showed no local recurrence. Of the 455 lesions evaluated as LMX or LM1, 30 showed local recurrence within a median period of 6.3 months (range, 1.7 - 48.1) from the initial endoscopic resection. The local recurrence rate of the en bloc-LMX group (2.2 %) was significantly lower than that of the piecemeal-LMX group (15.2 %). Of the 30 cases of recurrence, 28 were successfully treated with a second endoscopic resection. Of the two lesions that showed further recurrence, one was treated with a third endoscopic resection, whereas the other - which was a piecemeal-LMX lesion - was eventually diagnosed as invasive cancer and treated with surgery. CONCLUSIONS: The local recurrence rate was lower in the en bloc-LMX group than in the piecemeal-LMX group. Thus, we believe that en bloc-LMX lesions that are completely and confidently resected endoscopically can be treated as en bloc-LM0 lesions.

Project description:BackgroundThe incidence rate of colorectal polyps in children has gradually increased in recent years. It is still unclear whether endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) can be performed in children with colorectal polyps as well as their incidences of post-polypectomy bleeding and recurrence. This retrospective study was performed to explore the feasible of EMR in children with colorectal polyps and analyze the risk factors of post-polypectomy bleeding and recurrence.MethodsPatients aged younger than 18 years diagnosed with colorectal polyps and received EMR for polypectomy between January 2017 and December 2021 were included in this study. The baseline data of included patients were retrospectively collected. All complications related to polypectomy were recorded during follow up via telephone, internet, or outpatient department, including post-polypectomy bleeding, perforation and polyp recurrence. Patients with and without post-polypectomy complications were divided into 2 groups. The risk factors of post-polypectomy bleeding and polyp recurrence were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression models after adjusting potential risk factors using univariable regression models.ResultsA total of 589 patients were included in this retrospective study. There were 333 male patients and 256 female patients, and their average age was 4.4±1.9 years old. The average diameter of their polyps was 8.4±2.8 mm, and 542 (92.0%) polyps presented as pedunculated lesions. A total of 540 (91.7%) polyps were diagnosed as juvenile polyps and 509 (86.4%) patients had only 1 polyp. There were a total of 75 cases of post-polypectomy complications (12.7%). The most common complication was early post-polypectomy bleeding (5.3%), followed by polyp recurrence (3.7%). Post-polypectomy bleeding occurred the most on the third and fourth day after EMR polypectomy. Larger polyps (OR =1.742, P<0.001), sessile lesions (OR =3.150, P=0.019), and multiple polyps (OR =4.372, P=0.003) were identified to be related to the incidence of post-polypectomy bleeding. Besides, sessile lesions (OR =3.887, P=0.026) were identified as the main risk factor and older patients (OR =0.606, P=0.004) had lower potential for post-polypectomy recurrence.ConclusionsMore attention should be paid to large, sessile, and multiple polyps during the procedure of EMR in children. The small number of patients in this study limits further analysis of results and a large sample study should be performed.
