NCT02738294

Brief Summary

The aim of the present study was to assess whether it was necessary to conduct magnifying endoscopy with narrow band imaging (ME-NBI) targeted biopsy compared with endoscopic forceps biopsy (EFB) from white light endoscopy in diagnosing early gastric cancer (EGC). Meanwhile, the investigators proposed the most cost-effective way to diagnose EGC.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Accuracy in distinguishing high-grade neoplasia (HGN) from non-HGN

    EFB and ME-NBI targeted biopsy and final resected specimens were assessed according to the Vienna classification. Suspected lesions were assessed in ME-NBI view according to the diagnostic classification proposed by Yao and Ezoe et al. However, little different from their classification, lesions were classified into positive HGN phenomenon, indefinite and suspected HGN, negative HGN phenomenon. After that, ME-NBI targeted biopsy was performed where abnormal or suspected phenomenon was observed. Compared with final pathology of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) or surgery specimens, sensitivity of EFB, ME-NBI, ME-NBI targeted biopsy, ME-NBI combined EFB and ME-NBI combined targeted biopsy was calculated. Accuracy of EFB and ME-NBI targeted biopsy was compared using McNemar test. The same method was used to compare ME-NBI combined EFB and ME-NBI combined targeted biopsy.

  • Sensitivity in distinguishing HGN from non-HGN

    EFB and ME-NBI targeted biopsy and final resected specimens were assessed according to the Vienna classification. Suspected lesions were assessed in ME-NBI view according to the diagnostic classification proposed by Yao and Ezoe et al. However, little different from their classification, lesions were classified into positive HGN phenomenon, indefinite and suspected HGN, negative HGN phenomenon. The former classification was diagnosed as HGN. The latter two classification was diagnosed as HGN. After that, ME-NBI targeted biopsy was performed where abnormal or suspected phenomenon was observed. Compared with final pathology of ESD or surgery specimens, sensitivity of EFB, ME-NBI, ME-NBI targeted biopsy, ME-NBI combined EFB and ME-NBI combined targeted biopsy was calculated. Sensitivity of EFB and ME-NBI targeted biopsy was compared using McNemar test. The same method was used to compare ME-NBI combined EFB and ME-NBI combined targeted biopsy.

Study Arms (1)

Suspected EGC group

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants with suspected EGC from white light endoscopy were enrolled.The endoscopist first used white light endoscopy to identify suspected gastric lesions and assessed lesions carefully with magnifying view, non-magnifying NBI view and ME-NBI view in sequence. After assessing suspected EGC in ME-NBI view, ME-NBI targeted biopsy was performed where abnormal phenomenon was identified in ME-NBI view.

Device: ME-NBI observation and ME-NBI targeted biopsy

Interventions

The endoscopist assessed lesions which were suspected EGC carefully with ME-NBI. After assessing suspected EGC in ME-NBI view, ME-NBI targeted biopsy was performed where abnormal phenomenon was identified in ME-NBI view.

Suspected EGC group

Eligibility Criteria

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • consecutive patients with gastric lesions detected by white light endoscopy and suspected of EGC

You may not qualify if:

  • they had advanced gastric cancer
  • lesions were histopathologically confirmed to be submucosal tumors
  • they had a history of gastrectomy
  • tissue biopsy wasn't obtained or more than 2 biopsies were performed on suspected gastric lesions during last white light endoscopy
  • they couldn't tolerate another endoscopic examination
