Resection of Early Colorectal Neoplasms Using Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection: A Retrospective Multicenter Cohort Study. J Clin Med 2024; 13:6989. [PMID: 39598133 PMCID: PMC11595630 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13226989] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2024] [Revised: 10/23/2024] [Accepted: 10/29/2024] [Indexed: 11/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a reliable method that can replace surgery in the treatment of early colorectal cancer under certain conditions. Aim: The aim of the study was to analyze factors influencing the ESD procedure in early colorectal cancer, with the intention of improving its effectiveness. Patients and Methods: We conducted a multicenter, retrospective cohort study on 214 patients who underwent ESD procedures for early colorectal cancer from January 2016 to October 2023. Results:En bloc resection was achieved in 197 (92.1%) of ESD procedures, R0 resection in 149 (69.6%), and curative resection in 54 (40.9%). The submucosal invasion was classified as level 1 (SM1) in 96 cases (45.3%), level 2 (SM2) in 61 cases (28.8%), and level 3 (SM3) in 36 cases (17%). R0 resection was achieved more often in the rectum-92 (81.4%), compared to the right-24 (64.9%) and left colon-33 (61.1%), p = 0.009. In rectal tumors, R0 resection was achieved in 51 (98.1%) SM1 invasion, 27 (73%) SM2 invasion, and 13 (65%) SM3 invasion (p < 0.001). Lateral and vertical resection margins were positive in 12 (7.7%) and 52 (25.2%) cases, respectively. Vertical resection margins were statistically more often positive in lesions located in the right colon-11 cases (28.9%) and left colon-21 cases (38.9%), than in rectum-20 cases (17.5%); p = 0.010. Complications were found in 32 (15%) cases of ESD procedure-perforation in 12 cases (5.6%) and delayed bleeding in four cases (1.9%). Procedures performed in the right colon were associated with a significantly higher risk of any complications (30%) and perforations (15%) than those performed in the rectum (10.3% and 2.6%) or the left colon (13.8% and 5.2%; p = 0.016; p = 0.015), respectively. Conclusions: ESD for early colon cancer is a viable strategy due to its effectiveness and low complication rate. The ESD technique performed in the rectum yields the best results; however, in the right colon, it still requires careful attention.

Abstract
A positive resection margin after colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is associated with an increased risk of recurrence. We aimed to identify the clinical significance of positive resection margins in colorectal neoplasms after ESD. We reviewed 632 patients who had en bloc colorectal ESD at two hospitals between 2015 and 2020. The recurrence rates and presence of residual tumor after surgery were evaluated. The rate of additional surgery after ESD and recurrence rate were significantly higher in patients with incomplete resection (n = 75) compared to patients with complete resection (n = 557). When focusing solely on non-invasive lesions, no significant differences in recurrence rates were observed between the groups with complete and incomplete resection (0.2% vs. 1.9%, p = 0.057). Among 84 patients with submucosal invasive carcinoma, 39 patients underwent additional surgery due to non-curative resection. Positive vertical margin and lymphovascular invasion were associated with residual tumor. Lymphovascular invasion was associated with lymph node metastasis. However, no residual tumor nor lymph node metastases were found in patients with only one unfavorable histological factor. In conclusion, a positive resection margin in non-invasive colorectal lesions, did not significantly impact the recurrence rate. Also, in T1 colorectal cancer with a positive vertical resection margin, salvage surgery can be considered in selected patients with additional risk factors.

Low risk of local recurrence after a successful en bloc endoscopic submucosal dissection for noninvasive colorectal lesions with positive horizontal resection margins (R-ESD study). Endoscopy 2023; 55:245-251. [PMID: 36228648 PMCID: PMC9974332 DOI: 10.1055/a-1960-3552] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2021] [Accepted: 10/12/2022] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
UNLABELLED BACKGROUND : During endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), the normal mucosa is cut under constant optical control. We studied whether a positive horizontal resection margin after a complete en bloc ESD predicts local recurrence. METHODS In this European multicenter cohort study, patients with a complete en bloc colorectal ESD were selected from prospective registries. Cases were defined by a horizontal resection margin that was positive or indeterminate for dysplasia (HM1), whereas controls had a free resection margin (HM0). Low risk lesions with submucosal invasion (T1) and margins free of carcinoma were analyzed separately. The main outcome was local recurrence. RESULTS From 928 consecutive ESDs (2011-2020), 354 patients (40 % female; mean age 67 years, median follow-up 23.6 months), with 308 noninvasive lesions and 46 T1 lesions, were included. The recurrence rate for noninvasive lesions was 1/212 (0.5 %; 95 %CI 0.02 %-2.6 %) for HM0 vs. 2/96 (2.1 %; 95 %CI 0.57 %-7.3 %) for HM1. The recurrence rate for T1 lesions was 1/38 (2.6 %; 95 %CI 0.14 %-13.5 %) for HM0 vs. 2/8 (25 %; 95 %CI 7.2 %-59.1 %) for HM1. CONCLUSION A positive horizontal resection margin after an en bloc ESD for noninvasive lesions is associated with a marginal nonsignificant increase in the local recurrence rate, equal to an ESD with clear horizontal margins. This could not be confirmed for T1 lesions.

Abstract
Background. Endoscopic submucosal dissections (ESDs) allow removal of large gastrointestinal tumors and help patients avoid major oncologic surgery. In this study, the challenges and development of approaches toward successfully handling ESDs were analyzed in 279 colorectal specimens (114 rectal, 47 left, 118 right colonic; 90% adenoma with/without carcinoma). Methods. Each specimen was processed according to an established protocol including gross photography, mapping, and total submission for histopathologic examination. Results. Mean lesion size was 4.2 cm (range: 0.5-22 cm; 28% ≥5 cm; 6% ≥10 cm). Invasive carcinoma was present in 38 cases (14%), which had a mean overall tumor size of 3.8 cm (range: 1.1-17.5 cm), and mean largest size of the invasive component was 0.93 cm (range: 0.04-3 cm). Fifteen cases were staged as pT1a (submucosal invasion of <1000 µm) and 13 cases as pT1b (submucosal invasion of ≥1000 µm). En-bloc and R0 resection rates were 99.3% and 90.6%, respectively. Conclusion. Various histopathologic challenges were encountered, which were carefully evaluated by dedicated pathologists with familiarity to the subtleties in handling and reporting these specimens. We recommend these specimens to be prepared in the endoscopy suite, submitted to the Pathology Department oriented, pinned, and placed into copious amount of fixative. Total sampling, gross photography, mapping, and proper fixation are crucial components in the histopathologic evaluation. Micromeasurement of invasion depth and substaging per European/Japanese guidelines as well as accurate measurement of the distance from the resection margins are highly recommended. In conclusion, ESD is an adequate method that can be successfully implemented in a tertiary care center to perform en-bloc and margin-free resections of clinically selected large colorectal superficial lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND En bloc endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been recently introduced as a treatment for precancerous/neoplastic gastrointestinal conditions. The aim of the present study was histological assessment of en bloc ESD specimens. METHODS Fifty-three ESD specimens were positioned over a cellulose acetate support (40 specimens; 12 from the upper gastrointestinal tract and 28 from the lower gastrointestinal tract) or pinned with nails on polystyrene or cork (13 specimens; 7 from the upper gastrointestinal tract and 6 from the lower gastrointestinal tract). We cut consecutive 2 mm-thick sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin. From the first and the last sections, we obtained a second slide, after a 180° rotation and re-embedding. The quality of ESD samples was scored as inadequate, suboptimal and adequate, based on the amount of crushing, shearing and stretching artifacts that were scored from 0 (absent) to 2 (diffuse or maximum). From the sum of these we obtained a global artifact score (GAS). RESULTS Removed lesions were: adenocarcinoma (5 cases), neuroendocrine tumor (NET) G1 (1 case), premalignant conditions, including adenomatous polyps (41 cases) and hyperplastic lesions (6 cases). A positive deep surgical margin was found in 8/53 cases (15%): high- and low-grade dysplastic glands were detected in 5 cases, low-grade adenocarcinoma in 2, and NET cells in 1. Dysplastic glands were detected in the lateral surgical margins of 12 ESD specimens (23%). Among the ESD specimens positioned on the cellulose acetate support, apart from the modifications due to electrocoagulation, 2 (5%) showed shearing modifications. In the group of ESD specimens fixed with nails, 5 (38%) showed shearing, 10 (77%) crushing artifacts, 11 (85%) stretching and 11 (85%) multiple holes caused by the nails. On the basis of these data all histological specimens from ESD on cellulose acetate were adequate (GAS 0-1).However, in the group of ESD fixed with nails, 1 was adequate (GAS 0), 11 suboptimal (GAS 2-5) and 1 inadequate (GAS 6). CONCLUSIONS Specific devices including cellulose support and adequate sampling blocks can be helpful to perform accurate histological assessment of ESD specimens after en bloc ESD for precancerous/neoplastic gastrointestinal lesions, with complete analysis of the status of the margins and the entirely en bloc evaluation of the lesion.
