ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of endoscopic treatment for early nonampullary duodenal cancer.Methods:Data of patients with early nonampullary duodenal cancer, who underwent endoscopic treatment from January 2015 to January 2021 at Beijing Friendship Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Baseline data, endoscopic treatment methods, wound closure, pathology, the occurrence and outcome of complications of patients were studied.Results:A total of 47 patients who successfully went through endoscopic treatment were enrolled. Seventeen cases received endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), 5 cases received endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), and 7 cases received ESD+EMR (hybrid ESD). Six cases were converted to hybrid ESD due to difficulty in ESD. Four cases received full-thickness resection with over-the-scope clip system (OTSC), and 8 cases received endoscopic piecemeal mucosal resection (EPMR). Among the 47 cases of early cancer, the en bloc resection rate was 83.0% (39/47), and the complete resection rate was 85.1% (40/47). Four patients (8.5%) had perforation which occurred at the duodenal descending part during the perioperative period, among whom, 2 patients (4.3%) recovered after endoscopic treatment, 2 others (4.3%) recovered after surgical intervention. There were no complications such as postoperative bleeding or infection during the perioperative period.Conclusion:Endoscopic treatment for early nonampullary duodenal cancer is safe and effective. A specific treatment plan can be selected according to the location, size and specific conditions of the lesion. For the operation of the descending part, it is necessary to be more vigilant to against the occurrence of perforation complications.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of endoscopy for early cancer of duodenal papilla.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on data collected from 23 consecutive patients with early cancer of duodenal papilla, who underwent endoscopic treatment from January 2015 to January 2021 in Beijing Friendship Hospital. Baseline data, endoscopic and pathological data, occurrence and outcome of complications were studied.Results:Twenty-three patients successfully received endoscopic treatment. The maximal diameter of lesions evaluated under endoscopy was 1.90±0.83 cm. Among the 23 cases, 20 underwent endoscopic mucosal resection and 3 underwent endoscopic piecemeal mucosal resection. Delayed bleeding occurred in 5 cases (21.7%), 3 patients (13.0%) developed postoperative hyperamylasemia, 6 patients (26.1%) developed mild acute pancreatitis, and 1 patient (4.3%) had pancreatic duct stent displacement after the operation, which improved after medical or endoscopic treatment. No perforation occurred during the perioperative period. In terms of final pathology, the en bloc resection rate was 82.6% (19/23), and the complete resection rate was 78.3% (18/23). Preoperative endoscopic ultrasonography showed that 19 lesions were confined to the mucosal layer, which were all demonstrated by postoperative pathology. Four other cases were suspected to be involved in the submucosa or the end of the pancreaticobiliary duct under endoscopic ultrasonography, two of which were confined to the mucosal layer, and the other 2 cases involved the submucosal layer, so additional surgery was performed. A total of 18 patients were followed up, among whom 14 achieved complete resection of postoperative pathology, and 2 patients (14.3%, 2/14) were found to have recurrence at 12 and 51 months respectively after the treatment and did not relapse after surgical treatment and endoscopic treatment respectively. Among 4 other patients of follow-up whose pathology did not achieve complete resection, 1 had no recurrence, and the other 3 received additional surgical treatment without recurrence.Conclusion:Endoscopic treatment for early cancer of duodenal papilla is safe and effective. It is necessary to improve preoperative evaluation, stay alert to perioperative complications, and pay attention to regular postoperative endoscopic follow-up.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To assess the efficacy and safety of endoscopic piecemeal mucosal resection (EPMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in the treatment of larger (≥10-15 mm) non-ampullary duodenal lesions.@*Methods@#The data of 21 patients with larger (≥10-15 mm) non-ampullary duodenal lesions, who underwent EPMR or ESD in Beijing Friendship Hospital from February 2013 to August 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the treatment plan, the patients were divided into the EPMR group (n=13) and the ESD group (n=8). The operation time, pathological histological evaluation and complications of each group were summarized.@*Results@#In the EPMR group, all 13 lesions were originated from the mucosa. The diameter of the lesion estimated by endoscopy and the size of the resected specimen were 22±12 mm and 26±15 mm, respectively, the median operation time was 39.0 (23.0, 45.0) min, and 12 lesions were closed with metal clips. For pathological assessment, there were 2 cases of ectopia gastric mucosa, 7 cases of low grade intraepithelial neoplasia, and 4 cases of high grade intraepithelial neoplasia. And 5 cases were horizontal margin positive (low grade intraepithelial neoplasia) in the 13 lesions. Complications occurred in 2 patients, including 1 case of perioperative bacteremia, which was cured after anti-infective treatment, and another case of intraoperative perforation, which was recovered after emergency surgery. In the ESD group, there were 6 mucosal lesions and 2 submucosal lesions. The diameter of the lesion estimated by endoscopy and the size of the resected specimen were 17±5 mm and 20±7 mm, respectively, the median operation time was 47.5 (34.0, 68.0) min, and all 8 lesions were closed with metal clips. For pathological assessment, there were 3 cases of low grade intraepithelial neoplasia, 3 cases of high grade intraepithelial neoplasia, 1 case of submucosal cyst, and 1 case of lymphangioma. All 8 cases were horizontal margin negative, and low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia was suspected at the vertical margin of 1 case, which failed to achieve complete resection. Perioperative perforation occurred in 3 cases. One case recovered after endoscopic treatment, another case was unsatisfactory under endoscopy, and recovered after emergency surgery. The other case was recovered after laparoscopic treatment.@*Conclusion@#EPMR and ESD are both safe and effective for larger non-ampullary duodenal lesions, which is worthy of further clinical research.

ABSTRACT
Objective To study the therapeutic value of endoscopy for primary duodenal lesions. Methods Data of 79 consecutive patients with primary duodenal lesions, who underwent endoscopic treatment from January 2015 to January 2018 at Beijing Friendship Hospital, were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into the complication group and the non-complication group, and further grouped according to lesion locations and endoscopic categories. Baseline data of patients, endoscopic treatment, wound closure method, pathological results, the occurrence and outcome of complications were studied. Results A total of 79 patients successfully went through endoscopic treatment, including 59 cases of endoscopic mucosal resection ( EMR) , 5 cases of endoscopic submucosal dissection ( ESD) , 6 cases of full-thickness resection with OTSC metal clips, and 9 cases of endoscopic piecemeal mucosal resection ( EPMR) . In all 79 cases, complications occurred in 8 patients ( 10. 1％) during the perioperative period, all at the duodenal descending segment and duodenal papilla. In all 47 cases whose lesions located at duodenal papilla and duodenal descending segment, the complication incidence was 17. 0％ ( 8/47) , significantly higher than that of non-descending and papilla part [ 0 ( 0/32 ) , P=0. 012 ] . Two ( 2. 5％) cases had complications requiring further intervention with endoscopy or surgery. Among 8 patients with complications, 1 patient ( 2. 1％) developed intraoperative perforation, 1 patient ( 2. 1％) developed delayed bleeding, 6 patients ( 12. 8％) developed mild acute pancreatitis, and these 8 patients recovered after treatment. These 47 patients were further divided into the duodenoscopy group and the gastroscopy group according to endoscopic categories, the complications incidence in the duodenoscopy group ( 28. 0％, 7/25) was also significantly higher than that in the gastroscopy group [ 4. 5％( 1/22) , P=0. 037] . Conclusion Endoscopic treatment is safe and effective for primary duodenal lesions. But for the operations in the duodenal descending segment and the duodenal papilla, as well as in the case of duodenoscopy, it is necessary to be more vigilant about the occurrence of complications.
