- Abstract
Introduction: Curative rates of endoscopic treatment for undifferentiated-type early gastric cancer (EGC), particularly mixed poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (MIXED-POR), are lower than those of endoscopic treatment for the differentiated type. Magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (ME-NBI) is useful for diagnoses of the histological type. This study aimed to investigate the detection rates of MIXED-POR among undifferentiated-type EGCs using biopsy and ME-NBI in order to improve curative rates through endoscopic treatment. Methods: We analyzed 267 lesions initially subjected to endoscopic submucosal resection (ESD) and histologically diagnosed as undifferentiated-type EGCs between July 2005 and December 2016 at our hospital. We obtained written informed consent from all participants. Biopsy and ME-NBI findings were compared to distinguish pure signet ring cell carcinoma (PURE-SIG) and MIXED-POR. ME-NBI findings were divided into 2 categories depending on the presence of irregular vessels. Results of biopsy and ME-NBI (combination method) were also analyzed, and detection rates of MIXED-POR and PURE-SIG were evaluated in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. Results: Overall, 114 lesions were analyzed. Fifty-eight lesions (50.9%) were identified as MIXED-POR. With biopsy, the detection rate of MIXED-POR was significantly lower than that of PURE-SIG (p < 0.0001). ME-NBI detected significantly more MIXED-POR with irregular vessels than PURE-SIG (p < 0.0001). The combination method could detect significantly more MIXED-POR than PURE-SIG (p < 0.0001). The sensitivity and accuracy for MIXED-POR diagnosis were significantly higher with the combination method than with biopsy alone (p < 0.0001). Discussion/Conclusion: Combining biopsy and ME-NBI improved the accuracy of pretreatment diagnosis before ESD in undifferentiated-type cancer.
