ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of VS classification of magnifying endoscopy with blue laser imaging ( ME-BLI) for gastric precancerous lesion and early gastric cancer. Methods A retrospective study was performed on the data of 313 patients ( 322 lesions) with gastric mucosal lesions undergoing ME-BLI in digestive endoscopy center of Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2014 to January 2017. The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of VS classification by ME-BLI in diagnosis of gastric precancerous lesion and early cancer were analyzed. Results Among the 322 lesions, 57 were pathologically diagnosed as cancerous lesions and 265 were non-cancerous lesions. According to VS classification of ME-BLI, 98. 2%(56/57) VS structures of the cancerous lesions were irregular or disappearing, and 100. 0%( 57/57 ) cancerous lesions had clear demarcation. Taking the pathological diagnosis as the gold standard, the accuracy of VS classification of ME-BLI was 93. 8%(302/322), with a good consistency with pathological diagnosis(Kappa＝0. 810). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were 98. 2%( 56/57), 92. 8%( 246/265 ), 74. 7%( 56/75 ) and 99. 6%( 246/247 ), respectively. Conclusion The VS classification of ME-BLI is an effective method with high accuracy, sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis of gastric precancerous lesion and early gastric cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the diagnostic value of NBI combined with magnification endoscopy using VS classification standard for early gastric carcinoma lesions.Methods A total of 100 patients with suspected early gastric cancer whose gastric mucosa showed roughness,erosion,abnormal colour or ulcer were collected from January 2013 to June 2014.The lesions were observed under white light endoscopy and then underwent biopsy.Observation and biopsy were conducted in the same location by NBI-ME with self contrast method 2 weeks later.Patients in group A underwent NBI-ME,then were diagnosed by VS classifi-cation standard.Patients in group B were diagnosed with white light endoscopy.The sensitivity,specificity, positive predictive value,negative predictive value and accuracy between group A and group B were com-pared.Results The sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value and accura-cy of white light endoscopy in the diagnosis of early gastric carcinoma lesions were 76.19% (16 /21 ), 45.57%(36 /79),27.12%(16 /59),87.80%(36 /41)and 52.00%(52 /100),respectively;while the these variables of NBI-ME for early gastric carcinoma lesions were 95.24%(20 /21),97.47%(77 /79), 90.91%(20 /22),98.72%(77 /78)and 97.00%(97 /100),respectively.The accuracy of NBI-ME for early gastric carcinoma lesions was significantly higher than that of white light endoscopy(χ2 =53.30,P <0.01).Conclusion NBI-ME is convenient and effective in the diagnosis of early gastric carcinoma lesions with high consistency of pathology and good clinical application value.
