Fuji intelligent color enhancement chromoendoscopy for diagnosis of early gastric cancer / 中华消化内镜杂志

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo evaluate Fuji intelligent color enhancement (FICE) chromoendoscopy for diagnosis of early gastric cancer. MethodsFrom February 2010 to March 2011 ,a total of 67 patients with suspected gastric mucosal lesions were enrolled in this study. The lesions were observed with magnifying endoscopy, FICE, magnifying chromoendoscopy and indigo-carmine-magnifying-chromoendoscopy.Suspected gastric mucosal pit patterns and microvascular morphology were compared. Targeted biopsy was performed on suspected locations. Sensitivity, specificity and pathological consistency were compared between the 3 procedures. ResultsOut of 67 patients, 17 were diagnosed as having early gastric cancer.There was no difference among magnifying endoscopy, FICE magnifying chromoendoscopy and indigo-carmine-magnifying-chromoendoscopy in pit pattern findings,however, FICE magnifying chromoendoscopy was superior to other 2 procedures in displaying capillary loop. The sensibility, specificity and pathological accordance rate of FICE magnifying chromoendoscopy were 94. 1％ ( 16/17 ), 98. 0％ (49/50) and 97.0％(65/67), which were higher than those of the magnifying endoscopy [58.8％ ( 10/17), 84％ (42/50)and 77.6％ ( 52/67 )] ( P ＜ 0. 05 ), and were not different from those of indigo-carmine-magnifying-chromoendoscopy [88.2％ (15/17), 96％ (48/50) and 94.0％ (63/67)] (P ＞0.05). Conclusion FICE magnifying chromoendoscopy provides rather clear images of gastric mucosa and intrapapillary capillary, thereby improving the accuracy of endoscopic biopsy and then imporving the diagnosis rate of early gastric cancer.
