ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the outcome of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of colorectal tumors, and to analyze the factors affecting the therapeutic efficacy of ESD.Methods:Clinical data of patients with colorectal tumors who were treated with ESD in Department of Gastroenterology in Beijing Hospital from November 2016 to December 2019 were reviewed. A total of 82 patients with pathologically confirmed colorectal adenoma or carcinoma of diameter ≥20 mm were included. The clinical features, ESD and pathological outcomes of the patients were analyzed.Results:All 82 lesions were single, with the mean diameter of 29.72±10.74 mm. Lesions were divided into the laterally spreading tumors (LST), mainly located in the ascending colon and ileocecal region (47.8%, 22 / 46) and the protruding colorectal tumors, mainly located in the left colon, 52.8% (19 / 36) of which were located in the sigmoid colon. The overall resection rate was 81.7%(67/82) and the curative resection rate was 72.0%(59/82). The incidences of bleeding and perforation were 2.4%(2/82) and 1.2%(1/82), respectively. The curative resection rates [91.4%(32/35), 63.6%(7/11) and 55.6%(20/36), P=0.003] and surgical operation rates [8.6%(3/35), 18.2%(2/11) and 36.1%(13/36), P=0.010] of LST-G, LST-NG and protruding colorectal tumors were significantly different. Multivariate regression analysis showed that protruding colorectal tumor ( OR=3.396, 95% CI: 1.014-11.374, P=0.047) and submucosal severe fibrosis (F2 type) ( OR=5.508, 95% CI: 2.216-13.692, P=0.001) were independent risk factors for non-curative ESD resection of colorectal tumors. Conclusion:ESD is effective and safe for colorectal tumors of diameter ≥ 20 mm. However, there are some differences in the rate of submucosal invasion and treatment outcome among different types of lesions. The risk factors for non-curative resection are protruding tumors and severe submucosal fibrosis.
ABSTRACT
Background: Laterally spreading tumor (LST) is one of the commonly seen neoplastic lesions under colonoscopy. The risk of malignant transformation is considerably high. Aims: To compare the efficacy and safety of endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for treatment of colorectal LST. Methods: Eighty-eight patients with colorectal LST were randomly divided into two groups and received EMR and ESD treatment, respectively, from Oct. 2016 to Dec. 2018 at the Baoshan Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine. For LST larger than 20 mm in diameter in EMR group, piecemeal EMR was recommended. The procedure time, complications, en bloc resection rate and recurrence rate during 1-year follow-up were compared between the two groups. Results: All patients enrolled in this study achieved a complete resection. The procedure time of EMR was shorter than that of ESD [(23.73±6.19) min vs.(65.13±13.76) min], and the en bloc resection rate was higher (97.7% vs. 59.1%) and the recurrence rate was lower (11.4% vs. 31.8%) in ESD group than in EMR group (P0.05). In EMR group, the majority of recurrence occurred in cases with LST larger than 20 mm in diameter. Conclusions: For colorectal LST, the method of endoscopic treatment should be selected based on patients' clinical condition. Although the procedure time of EMR is shorter, ESD is more suitable for lesions larger than 20 mm in diameter.
ABSTRACT
The relevance and interest in discussing on flat polyps is mainly due to the various challenges involved in its diagnosis and therapeutical difficulties, being the endoscopic route the state of the art nowadays, as well as their follow up and subsequent controls. Available diagnostic technologies have improved significantly and are widespread among digestive endoscopy units. Endoscopy treatment includes EMR(endoscopic mucosal resection), ESD(endoscopic submucosal dissection), ablation and even transmural resections. Prevention and treatment of complications is a major issue in these endoscopic solutions. Multiple variables related with flat lesions are analysed in this review, such as serrated lesions, laterally spreading tumors, and flat lesions meaning dysplasia and cancer in inflammatory bowel disease patients, among others. Complete resections should be ensured in order to avoid interval colon polyps and cancer, preventing the development of colon cancer, which is our major goal.
El interés actual y la relevancia de discutir sobre el pólipo planoestá en los desafíos que se enfrentan tanto en el terreno del diagnóstico como en su resolución terapéutica, mayormente endoscópica, su seguimiento y controles posteriores. Los medios diagnósticos endoscópicos se han perfeccionado y se encuentran disponibles en muchos centros. Las armas disponibles en esta terapia incluyen hoy la EMR (endoscopic mucosal resection), ESD (endoscopic submucosal dissection), la ablación y terapias transmurales. Se cuenta con elementos para prevenir y tratar complicaciones de su manejo. Múltiples variables de las lesiones planas se discutirán en esta revisión, como las lesiones serradas, los tumores de extensión lateral (laterally spreading tumors; LSTs) y las lesiones planas que significan displasia y cáncer en pacientes portadores de enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal, entre otros. Debemos preocuparnos de su resección completa, evitando así recidivas y cáncer colorrectal de intervalo, avanzando en nuestra lucha en la prevención de esta patología.

Objective Laterally spreading tumor (LST) has a close relationship with colorectal cancer, its diagnosis and treatment are differed from those of ordinary protuded tumors. The aim of this study is to attract much attention to this particular tumor. Methods Four thousand two hundred and ten patients were examined with magnifying endoscope and mucosa staining from December, first 2000 to May 31 , 2002. Results In 34 patients with LST, there were 35 lesions, including granular type 15, nodular - mixed type 18, and pseudocaved 2; and there were 4 patients with intramucosa carcinoma and other 2 with serrated adenoma. The biggest lesion is 68 mm ? 85 mm, and the smallest 11 mm? 12 mm. Of the 35 lesions the diameters are 8 within 11 -20 mm, 13, 21 -30 mm and 14 above 31mm. The pit patterns of the 35 lesions are mainly IV pit patterns, about 62. 9% (22/35). The pathological diagnoses of 3 patients with VA pit patterns LST are intramucosa carcinoma, and 8 patients with Ⅲ L pit patterns are tubulovillous adenoma. All of the 35 lesions are resected by EMR or EPMR. Complication occurred in two patients during treatment of EMR such as hemorrhage and local peritonitis. Conclusion Mucosa staining and magnifying endoscopy is very useful in detecting LST. We must pay more attention to those signs, such as reddish and eneven mucosa or unclear or interrupted vascular network. Furthermore it is necessary to stain the mucosa with indigo carmine spray to get the evidences of flat tumor. Pit patterns of LST mostly are IV or ⅢL, and LST with Ⅳ pit patterns are mainly villous adenoma, ⅢL tubular adenoma, while LST with the Ⅴ pit pattern signifies the cancerated metaplasia.
