EUS-guided fine needle biopsy: minimally invasive access to metastatic or recurrent cancer.

OBJECTIVE: Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a sensitive technique for preoperative staging of gastrointestinal tumors. However, the value of this technique in the diagnosis of metastatic or recurrent disease is limited by the inability to differentiate malignant and benign lesions. We have prospectively investigated the role of EUS-guided biopsy in the evaluation of peri-intestinal tumors. METHODS: EUS-guided biopsy was performed in 167 patients with thoracic, intra-abdominal or pelvic lesions. The upper gastrointestinal tract was examined with a flexible echoendoscope equipped with a 7.5 MHz curved array transducer. For transrectal EUS a rigid endoprobe with a bifocal multiplane transducer (10 MHz) was used. Both instruments allowed to observe the biopsy procedure exactly in the longitudinal scan plane. RESULTS: Real time ultrasonography guidance of the biopsy needle enabled precise tissue sampling even of small lesions with a diameter of 1 cm. Overall EUS-guided fine needle biopsy yielded tissue samples for histopathologic or cytologic analysis in of 151 of 167 patients. Histology demonstrated benign lesions in 71 of 74 patients and malignant tumors in 68 of 93 patients. EUS-guided fine needle biopsy failed to provide the correct diagnosis in 28 cases. The overall sensitivity and specificity of EUS-guided biopsy in the diagnosis of malignancy were 73 and 96%, respectively. The histopathological results changed the clinical and endosonographic diagnosis in 49 patients. No complications were observed related to the biopsy. CONCLUSIONS: EUS-guided needle biopsy is a safe and efficient method for tissue sampling of peri-intestinal lesions. This minimally invasive technique provides adequate biopsies and improves the diagnostic value of endoscopic ultrasonography considerably.     

Submucosal lesions

Most of the submucosal lesions encountered on endoscopy are benign; however, the fact that some of them may be malignant considerably influences the attitude toward the whole group. This article reviews the current status of endosonography in the management of submucosal lesions and focuses on determining the risk of malignancy. The predictive value of various endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) features and their combinations and the capabilities and limitations of EUS-guided fine needle biopsy are discussed. Other issues addressed include differentiation between extraluminal compressions and true submucosal lesions, EUS-assisted endoscopic removal of submucosal lesions, and the potential role of catheter-based endosonography in the setting of submucosal lesions. Problems related to the surveillance of patients with submucosal lesions who are not candidates for surgical treatment are outlined. An overview of the recent changes in the pathologic classification of gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumors and their impact on the role of EUS in the management of submucosal lesions is given.     

Pancreatic cancer secondary to intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm with collision between gastric cancer and B-cell lymphoma: A case report

BACKGROUNDPatients with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) have an increased risk of pancreatic and extrapancreatic malignancies. Lymphomas are rare extrapancreatic malignancies, and in situ collisions of early gastric cancer and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are even rarer. Here, we report the first case of pancreatic cancer comorbid with in situ collision of extrapancreatic malignancies (early gastric cancer and DLBCL) in a follow-up IPMN patient. Furthermore, we have made innovations in the treatment of such cases.CASE SUMMARYAn 81-year-old Japanese female diagnosed with IPMN developed elevated carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 levels during follow-up. Because her CA19-9 levels continued to rise, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) was performed and revealed a suspicious lesion at the pancreatic tail. However, lesions in the pancreas were not found by computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. To make an exact patho-logical diagnosis, EUS-guided fine needle aspiration was performed. To our supprise, early gastric cancer was found in preoperative gastroscopy. The gastric cancer was completely resected through endoscopic submucosal dissection before postoperative pathology identified early adenocarcinoma collided with DLBCL. Subsequent EUS-guided fine needle aspiration provided pathological support for the pancreatic cancer diagnosis, and then laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy were performed. CA19-9 levels returned to normal postoperatively. CONCLUSIONEndoscopic submucosal dissection is appropriate for submucosal lymphomas in patients intoleratant of chemotherapy. EUS can detect small IPMN-related pancreatic tumors.

Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR): results and prognostic factors in 21 patients

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic mucosectomy (EM), and to present our experience with the endoscopic removal of superficial tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 21 patients were included in the study (16 men, 5 women), between September 1995 and May 1997. In 16 cases the site of the lesions was an esophageal carcinoma, in two cases a gastric carcinoma, and in three cases a sessile polyp of the duodenum with severe dysplasia. Surgery was not recommended for the patients with esophageal or gastric tumors (on account of cardiac disease, cirrhosis or poor health). All patients underwent an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) examination. The lesions were classified as usT1N0 in 20 cases, and usT0N0 in one case, according to the pretreatment EUS findings. We used the technique of polypectomy after submucosal injection of 10-15 ml of saline serum. RESULTS: Complications were encountered in 2/21 patients (9.5 %). Bleeding occurred in one case, but hemostasis was achieved endoscopically. In the other case, the patient presented with a thoracic pain and was treated by morphine injection. Endoscopic resection was considered to be complete in 19/21 patients (90.4%). In the other two cases, both involving esophageal tumors, histologic examination indicated only a partial tumor removal. However, these two patients had survived with negative EUS and endoscopic biopsy findings at 18 and 22 months later, respectively. None of the patients whose resections were considered complete presented with local recurrence, but three patients developed another superficial esophageal cancer, which was also treated by endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR). The mean follow-up was 20 months. CONCLUSIONS: EMR is a safe and efficient treatment of early gastrointestinal tumors. The development of high-frequency EUS probes may further improve the results of this technique in the future.     

Distant lymph node metastases in esophageal cancer: impact of endoscopic ultrasound-guided biopsy.

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the impact of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided biopsy in patients with esophageal carcinoma where distant lymph nodes which were possibly metastatic were visualized using EUS. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Out of 198 patients (150 men, mean age 66 years) examined over a 4-year period by EUS for local staging of esophageal cancer (121 squamous cell carcinomas and 77 adenocarcinomas), there was EUS visualization of distant lymph nodes in 40 (20%). EUS-guided biopsy was carried out in the latter patients, of cervical nodes with mediastinal tumors (n = 19), of celiac nodes with cervical tumors (n = 2) or superior mediastinal tumors (n = 9), and upper mediastinal lymph nodes in the case of distal adenocarcinomas (n = 10). RESULTS: On EUS-guided biopsy, results were positive in 31 patients, eight were correctly negative (as confirmed by surgery), and in one patient there was a technical failure, with positive findings on subsequent surgery. The sensitivity and specificity of the diagnosis of malignant lymph nodes were therefore 97% and 100% respectively. The positive results of EUS-guided biopsy modified the tumor staging in 31 of these cases (77.5%), proving distant lymph node metastasis which is classified as stage M1. With regard to actual clinical management, surgery was withheld from 24 patients (60% of 40 cases) who were then treated with concomitant radiotherapy and chemotherapy. CONCLUSION: EUS-guided biopsy of distant lymph nodes was indicated in 20% of patients with esophageal cancers, and the biopsy results led to upgrading of the tumor stage in about 80% of cases and influenced the treatment decision in about 60%.     

Endoscopic resection of subepithelial tumors

Subepithelial tumors (SETs) are often incidentally found during endoscopic examinations. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is a good method for differential diagnosis of SETs, but a definite diagnosis cannot be made based on EUS features alone in some cases. Periodic follow-up examinations by endoscopy and EUS remains the recommended management strategy, which involves issues related to patient compliance, cost-effectiveness, and the risk associated with repeated endoscopic procedures and delayed diagnosis of malignancy. Endoscopic resection of the SETs is another technique to treat them as well as to obtain tissue specimens for accurate histologic diagnosis. Herein, a various endoscopic techniques ranging from simple snare resection to endoscopic submucosal tunnel dissection for the management of SETs will be reviewed.

Endoscopic resection of submucosal esophageal tumors: a prospective case series

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIM: The introduction of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and endoscopic mucosal resection has offered a new alternative to simple observation or surgical resection for the management of esophageal submucosal tumors. PATIENTS AND METHODS: During a 4-year period, endoscopic resection was attempted in 20 consecutive patients (nine women, 11 men; mean age 52 +/- 10 years) with esophageal submucosal tumors < 4 cm in size, confirmed by endoscopy and miniprobe EUS (20 MHz). The mean tumor diameter was 17 +/- 8 mm (8 - 34 mm). Prior EUS-guided cytological examination revealed benign tumors in 11 patients; however, endoscopic resection was attempted in most patients for diagnostic purposes also. Several patients were symptomatic (retrosternal pain, n = 4; dysphagia, n = 4; recurrent bleeding, n = 2) but most tumors had been detected incidentally. RESULTS: In the majority of patients the tumor was ligated with a rubber band and then resected with a snare (n = 11), and in the others simple snare resection ("lift-and-cut," n = 7) or cap resection (n = 2) was done. A macroscopically complete endoscopic resection was achieved in 19/20 patients, and the remaining patient was managed surgically. Endoscopic hemostasis was necessary (and successful) in eight patients (40 %), but blood transfusion was not required. No other side effects occurred. Histological examination revealed granular cell tumor in 12 patients, leiomyoma in six patients, and a lipoma and stromal tumor in one patient each. Histologically, all tumors were judged to be benign and a microscopically complete resection (R0) was achieved in all patients, with the exception of the one patient with a stromal tumor. Thus, surgical resection was necessary in only two of the 20 patients (10 %). During the median prospective follow-up of 12 months no tumor recurrence was detected in any patient. CONCLUSION: Endoscopic resection of esophageal submucosal tumors is safe and effective. The probability of achieving curative resection (R0 resection, histologically benign) is high especially if the tumors are smaller in size (< 4 cm).
