چکیده

cancer is the second most common cancer in Ko-rea, but mortality due to gastric cancer is decreasing. This phenomenon is probably a result of the National Cancer Screening Program, which provides biennial endoscopic screening and facilitates early detection of gastric cancer that can be cured by endoscopic treatment or minimally invasive surgery. 1 During the endoscopic screening, precancerous lesions including low-grade adenomas are commonly found, which can be differentiated from high-grade dysplasia or invasive carcinomas by histological evaluation after collecting a biopsy specimen. However, even a biopsy-confirmed low-grade ad-enoma can be identified as a high-grade dysplasia or carcino-ma using full pathological evaluation after endoscopic resec-tion. 2 A low-grade adenoma usually can be treated using a less invasive modality such as argon plasma coagulation in the outpatient setting. 3 Alternatively, low-grade adenomas can be followed up without any invasive treatment in elderly patients with comorbid conditions including cardiovascular disease that need antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy, which imposes a higher risk of postprocedural bleeding after endoscopic re-section. 4 Using a narrow band imaging (NBI) system, endoscopists can evaluate the mucosal microvascular (MV) architecture and microsurface (MS) structure as well as demarcation lines (DL) between the lesion and the surrounding background mucosa. 5 NBI is useful for the diagnosis of upper gastrointes-tinal diseases including superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (SESCC), 6 Barrett esophagus, 7 chronic gastritis associated with Helicobacter pylori infection, 8 or early gastric cancers (EGCs). 9 Magnifying NBI (M-NBI) allows endosco-pists to observe detailed morphological features using the aforementioned criteria, which can lead to histologic diagnosis that can be used to differentiate carcinomas, from benign lesions, including adenomas. A recent prospective study using real-time analysis suggested that M-NBI in combination with conventional white light imaging (C-WLI) was used to identify the small, depressed type of EGCs with >95% accuracy , sensitivity, and specificity. 13 Identification of the DL and then subsequent inspection of an irregular MV pattern diagnosed using DL was an efficient strategy to identify the small, depressed type of EGC. 14 A consensus report about the role of NBI in the Asia Pacific region for the diagnosis of early-stage esophagogastric cancer was published recently. 5 For SESCC, most of the expert panels agreed that NBI is useful for detecting and determining the extent of SESCC. M-NBI can be very useful for determining the tumor depth of SESCC. NBI is not useful for detecting EGC, as the view of NBI …

Observer Variability in Gastric Neoplasm Assessment Using the Vessel Plus Surface Classification for Magnifying Endoscopy with Narrow Band Imaging

BACKGROUND/AIMS Recent studies have demonstrated that magnifying endoscopy with narrow band imaging (ME-NBI) facilitates differentiation of early gastric cancer from gastric adenoma using vessel plus surface (VS) classification. This study estimated the interobserver and intraobserver agreement of endoscopists using the Yao VS classification system for the gastric mucosal surface. METHODS We ...

New magnifying endoscopic classification for superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

AIM To assess the accuracy of a new magnifying endoscopy (ME) classification for predicting depth of invasion of superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SESCC). METHODS This study included a total of 70 lesions in 69 patients with SESCC who underwent ME with narrow-band imaging (ME-NBI) before resection from August 2010 to July 2016. Accuracy of ME-NBI for predicting depth of invasion...

Simplified Classification of Capillary Pattern in Barrett Esophagus Using Magnifying Endoscopy With Narrow Band Imaging

The classification of Barrett esophagus (BE) using magnifying endoscopy with narrow band imaging (ME-NBI) is not widely used in clinical settings because of its complexity. To establish a new simplified available classification using ME-NBI.We conducted a cross-sectional study in a single-referral center. One hundred eight consecutive patients with BE using ME-NBI and crystal violet (CV) chromo...

Magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging in the differential diagnosis of gastric adenoma and carcinoma and identification of a simple indicator.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Discrimination of gastric adenomas from adenocarcinomas by conventional endoscopy is difficult. Therefore, we evaluated the usefulness of magnifying endoscopy combined with narrow-band imaging for this differential diagnosis. METHODS Forty-nine consecutive gastric lesions were diagnosed as adenomas by conventional endoscopy with forceps biopsy and finally resected by endos...

Effectiveness of Magnifying Narrow-Band Imaging Endoscopy for Differential Diagnosis between the High-Risk Mixed-Type and Low-Risk Simple-Type of Low-Grade, Well-Differentiated Gastric Tubular Adenocarcinoma

Backgrounds. Magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (NBI-ME) is useful for diagnosing differentiated early gastric cancer (D-EGC). D-EGC is classified as high- or low-grade based on its glandular architectural and cytological atypia. Low-grade, well-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma (LG-tub1) mixed with high-grade tub1 (HG-tub1) and/or other histological types (M-LG-tub1) may indicat...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Depth of invasion is one of the most important factors for establishing treatment strategy for colorectal tumors. METHODS Three blinded experts reviewed electronic photos and video clips of 33 early colorectal cancer-like lesions. They estimated the depth of invasion based on conventional white light endoscopy (CWE), magnifying chromoendoscopy (MCE), and magnifying narrow band...
