ENDOSCOPY IN GASTRIC CANCER: NEW IMAGING TECHNIQUES, NEW TREATMENT MODALITIES (EMR, ESD) Fabrice Caillol Paoli Calmettes Institute, Marseille, France June 10th, Prague, Czech Republic
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.

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

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.

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.

ENDOSCOPIC TREATMENT: EVALUATION BEFORE RESECTION

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
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.
