2 EUS AND STAGING 1980: beginning of EUS No EUS gastric EAC: Mac Donald protocol 2006: MAGIC protocol All USt included Pretherapeutic EUS localization: gastric, oesocardial junction, lower part of the oesophagus 2011:FNLCC and FFCD protocol optional EUS staging In these studies EUS does not have therapeutic impact on the decision to perform chemotherapy, although most of team began to perform EUS for gastric ECA staging Macdonald JS, Smalley SR, Benedetti J, Hundahl SA, Estes NC, Stemmermann GN et al. Chemoradiotherapy after surgery compared with surgery alone for adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction. N Engl J Med 2001; 345: Smalley SR, et al. J Clin Oncol Cunningham et al. NEJM, 2006 Ychou M et al. JCO, 2011

3 EUS STAGING Unclear data about EUS staging. Downstaging is described, although the main argument is the lower incidence of advanced pt/pn on pathology report in the chemotherapy groups and not the EUS staging. meta-analysis of 14 studies about neoadjuvant chemotherapy Ronellenfittsch et al, Eur T od Cancer, 2013

4 EUS STAGING T1+T2 VS T3-T4 SENITIVITY SPECIFICITY PPV NPV ACCURACY 86% 91% 98% 65% 89% meta-analysis, 54 studies, 5601 patients Mocelli et al, GIE 2011

5 LYMPH NODE INVASION AND EUS Sensitivity= 83% Specificity= 67% Accuracy of lymph node status is lower than T staging Heterogenicity of studies needs to consider carefully results of EUS Metanalysis of 44 studies Mocellin S, Pasquali S.

7 EUS STAGING: RELIABILITY OF BIOPSY Lymph nodes: Specificity for adenocarcinoma is considered around of100%. Sensitivity varies from 87 to 100%.

16 EUS ELASTOGRAPHY: GOOD RESULTS BUT VARIABLE CUT-OFF 50 patients, 53 lymph nodes EUS-guided elastography of lymph nodes was performed before EUS-FNAB. Standard EUS characteristics were also described. Elastography strain ratio: sensitivity 83%, specificity 96%, positive predictive value 95%, and negative predictive value 86% for distinguishing between malignant and benign nodes. The overall accuracy of elastography strain ratio was 90% (Ratio Cut-off = 7.5). Elastography was more sensitive and specific in determining malignant nodal disease than standard EUS criteria.

17 LYMPH NODES STUDIES AND BENCHMARK HISTOLOGY An essential limitation of lymph nodes evaluation is the lack of benchmark histology in most of the studies. Only surgical piece can be a real gold standard for pathology. In the study lead by Mortensen et al, a reliable benchmark histology decreases in the final results sensitivity and specificity. We probably have to be cautious in the diagnosis of begnin/malignancy for lymph nodes given by literature data. sensitivity= 55% specificity= 82% 31% of the patients are excluded in this study.

30 ENDOSCOPIC TREATMENT: EVALUATION BEFORE RESECTION

31 ENDOSCOPIC TREATMENT: EVALUATION BEFORE RESECTION Videoendoscopy exploration is mandatory. Risk of metachronous lesions exists. The cumulative 3-years risk is 5.9%. EUS is not always mandatory Nb Patients EUS Accuracy Endoscopy Acc. p Choi,2010 * ,9% 81,4% 0,052 Song, ,4% 73,7% <0,001 Nakajima T, Oda I, Gotoda T et al.

32 ENDOSCOPIC TREATMENT: EVALUATION BEFORE RESECTION ESGE suggests that a strategy of precise endoscopic evaluation of these lesions is sufficient for predicting resectability, with EUS reserved only for selected cases.

36 Size in expanded criteria: Superficial carcinoma, follow-up size out of expanded criteria: time of resection: 6h Histopathology: Sm3

37 ENDOSCOPIC TREATMENT: DETECTION OF EGC IS ESSENTIAL Only less than 10% of gastric carcinoma are EGC (early gastric cancer) in western countries/ 60% in Eastern countries. 10% of EGC are misdiagnosed as gastritis, erosion or ulcers. With experienced endoscopist the diagnosis of EGC in patients referred for dyspepsia can increase from 1% to 26% in a united kingdom registry As a result, video-endoscopy with high definition is also a new imaging in the management of gastric cancer. Detection of EGC will improve the survival rate of this cancer. Caillol F, Bories E, Guiramand J et al. Can we resect EGC with signet ring cells in Europe? J Gastrointest Cancer, 2013

38 CONCLUSION EUS is essential to detect distant lymph nodes, carcinosis, left lobe liver metastasis and these lesions need to be punctured. Endoscopic resection is the first line therapy for early gastric tumours. Strict criteria of resection have to be applied.
