Abstract |
Background |
A considerable number of superficial gastric neoplasias are overlooked with conventional white light imaging (WLI) endoscopy.
Objective |
The aim was to investigate the diagnostic potential of trimodal imaging endoscopy (TME), which combines WLI, autofluorescence imaging (AFI), and narrow-band imaging (NBI), for superficial gastric neoplasia.
Design |
Feasibility study.
Setting |
Single academic center.
Patients |
Sixty-two patients with or without gastric neoplasia.
Intervention |
Each patient serially assessed with WLI, AFI, and magnifying endoscopy with NBI (ME-NBI) by an endoscopist blinded for clinical information. ME-NBI over WLI and AFI was designated as TME. Histopathology of biopsy and ESD specimens was evaluated and used as the gold standard.
Main Outcome Measurements |
Sensitivity and specificity of endoscopic diagnosis of pathology-proven neoplasia by per-patient and per-lesion analyses.
Results |
The study included 47 pathology-proven neoplasias and 44 pathology-proven nonneoplasias that were detected as neoplasias with any of the modalities. By a per-lesion analysis, the sensitivity of TME (89.4%) was higher than that of WLI (76.6%) and AFI (68.1%). The specificity of TME (98.0%) was higher than that of WLI (84.3%) and AFI (23.5%). By a per-patient analysis, the sensitivity of TME (90.9%) was higher than that of WLI (75%) and AFI (68.2%). The specificity of TME (100%) was higher than that of WLI (72.2%) and AFI (44.4%).
Limitations |
Case-enriched population at a single center.
Conclusions |
Higher diagnostic accuracy of TME over conventional WLI indicates the feasibility of TME for the efficacious diagnosis of early gastric neoplasia.
