Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical course and surveillance strategy for patients who undergo cold snare polypectomy (CSP) for high-grade dysplasia (HGD) or cancer is unclear. We investigated the management of colorectal HGDs and cancers following CSP. METHODS This Japanese nationwide multicenter exploratory study was retrospectively conducted on patients who had undergone CSP for colorectal HGDs or cancers and follow-up colonoscopy at least once from 2014 to 2020. We investigated the detection rate of CSP scars, local recurrence rate (LRR), risk factors for local recurrence, and follow-up strategy. This study was registered with the University Hospital Medical Information Network (UMIN) Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN000043670). RESULTS We included 155 patients with 156 lesions. CSP scars were identified in 22 (31.4%), 41 (54.7%), and 10 (90.9%) patients with curative, borderline, and non-curative resection, respectively. Among them, residual tumors were observed in one (4.5%), six (14.6%), and three (30.0%) cases, respectively. The total LRR was 13.7% (95% confidence interval: 6.8-23.8). R1 resection cases (either horizontal or vertical margins positive for tumors) were associated with local recurrence (p = 0.031). Salvage endoscopic and surgical resections were performed on 21 and 10 patients, respectively. Among them, the proportion of endoscopically suspected residual tumors was significantly higher (p < 0.001) in the residual tumor-positive group (100%) than in the residual tumor-negative group (28.6%). CONCLUSIONS LRR after CSP for HGDs or cancers was 13.7% based on scar-identified cases. Salvage endoscopic or surgical resection should be performed according to the curability of the lesion and endoscopic findings during colonoscopic surveillance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Cold snare polypectomy is commonly performed to remove small colorectal polyps. Accidental resection of carcinomas during this procedure has been reported. Herein, we aimed to clarify the clinicopathological features and clinical course of colorectal carcinomas resected by cold snare polypectomy. METHODS This multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted at 10 Japanese healthcare centers. Of the colorectal lesions resected by cold snare polypectomy between April 2016 and March 2020, lesions pathologically diagnosed as carcinoma were reviewed. Centralized histology (based on the Vienna classification) and endoscopic reviews were performed. The study endpoints were endoscopic features and clinical outcomes of cold snare polypectomy-resected colorectal carcinomas (Vienna category ≥4.2). RESULTS We reviewed 74 of the 70 693 lesions resected by cold snare polypectomy. After a central pathological review, 68 lesions were diagnosed as carcinomas. The Japan Narrow-band imaging Expert Team (JNET) classification type 2B, lesion size ≥6 mm, and multinodular morphology were the significant endoscopic predictors of carcinoma resected by cold snare polypectomy. No adverse events related to the procedure occurred. Sixty-three lesions were diagnosed as carcinomas within the mucosal layer, and 34 were curative resections. Of the five carcinoma lesions with submucosal invasion, additional surgery revealed remnant cancer tissues in one lesion. No local or metastatic recurrence was observed during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Although most of the carcinomas resected by cold snare polypectomy were within the mucosal layer, few lesions invading the submucosa were identified. Careful pre-procedural endoscopic evaluation, especially focusing on the JNET classification and multinodular morphology, is recommended.

Abstract
A 74-year-old man with anemia underwent colonoscopy, which revealed a 4-mm polyp in the ascending colon. The polyp was subsequently diagnosed as an adenomatous lesion according to the narrow-band imaging (NBI) International Colorectal Endoscopic classification/Japan NBI Expert Team classification and resected via cold snare polypectomy (CSP). However, a pathological examination revealed a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma with a positive vertical margin. We performed additional endoscopic resection at the CSP scar area, revealing residual submucosal cancer with lymphatic involvement. The patient then underwent additional surgical resection. In such cases, additional endoscopic resection might be a treatment option.

Endoscopic management of familial adenomatous polyposis targeting colorectal lesions greater than 5 mm in size: a single-center retrospective study. Fam Cancer 2023; 22:83-89.

Abstract
Preserving the colon while preventing colorectal cancer is challenging in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis. Although prophylactic colectomy is the current standard of care, some patients with familial adenomatous polyposis may wish to postpone colectomy as long as polyposis can be managed by endoscopic resection. This study examined our endoscopic management and prognostic results for patients with familial adenomatous polyposis who refused to undergo colectomy. We retrospectively analyzed the data of 12 patients with familial adenomatous polyposis treated at our hospital between January 1995 and December 2020. All patients opted to postpone prophylactic colectomy although they had significant polyp burdens and underwent endoscopic management, in which colorectal polyps sized > 5 mm were thoroughly resected during baseline colonoscopies and subsequently, newly arising colorectal polyps sized > 5 mm were periodically resected during surveillance colonoscopies. Patients (median age, 33 years) were followed up for a median of 5.2 years. The median number of colonoscopies and resected lesions per patient was 2 and 14 at baseline as well as, 9 and 32 during surveillance, respectively. The interval between colonoscopies was 1.0 and 7.0 months for baseline and surveillance, respectively. The colons of all 12 patients were preserved, and no invasive colorectal cancer developed. In 10 patients, 35 cases of high-grade dysplasia were observed and managed by endoscopic resection. Repeated endoscopic resection of colorectal polyps sized > 5 mm with appropriate surveillance may be an alternative form of endoscopic management for patients with familial adenomatous polyposis wishing to postpone colectomy.

Diagnostic efficacy of the Japan NBI Expert Team classification with dual-focus magnification for colorectal tumors. Surg Endosc 2021; 36:5032-5040. [PMID: 34845549 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-021-08863-7] [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: 04/08/2021] [Accepted: 11/01/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The Japan NBI Expert Team (JNET) classification is the first unified classification criteria for colorectal tumors using magnifying narrow-band imaging (NBI) in Japan. However, the diagnostic stratification ability of the JNET classification with dual-focus magnifying NBI (DF-JNET) has remained obscure. The aim of this study was to validate the diagnostic stratification ability of DF-JNET for colorectal tumors in two Japanese referral centers. METHODS A multicenter retrospective image evaluation study was conducted by three experienced endoscopists, including an original JNET member who was also involved in establishing the diagnostic criteria. A total of two images, namely, one representative non-magnified white light image and one representative DF-NBI image for each of the 557 consecutive lesions were used in the evaluation study. The diagnostic value of DF-JNET was calculated based on the evaluation data. RESULTS The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and accuracy of DF-JNET Type 1 for differentiating between non-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions were 78.1%, 98.6%, 89.1%, 96.8%, and 95.9%, respectively; of Type 2A lesions for differentiating low-grade dysplasia from others were 98.0%, 76.5%, 94.9%, 89.7%, and 94.1%, respectively; of Type 2B lesions for differentiating high-grade dysplasia and shallow submucosal invasive carcinoma from others were 43.5%, 99.1%, 66.7%, 97.6%, and 96.8%, respectively; and of Type 3 lesions for differentiating deep submucosal invasive carcinoma from others were 83.3%, 99.5%, 62.5%, 99.8%, and 99.3%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS All DF-JNET types had an over 90% diagnostic accuracy for the histological prediction of colorectal tumors. DF-JNET might contribute to appropriate treatment choices, such as endoscopic resection or surgery, not only in Japan but also in Western countries in which the use of optical zoom endoscopy is limited.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the potential factors that affect the accuracy of endoscopic diagnosis for Japan narrow-band imaging (NBI) Expert Team (JNET) type 2B colorectal lesions. OBJECTIVE The clinical data were collected from 261 patients with JNET type 2B colorectal lesions diagnosed in Nanfang Hospital between July, 2018 and July, 2021. We analyzed the macroscopic type, size, location or pit pattern classification of the lesions for their potential influence of the diagnostic accuracy of JNET type 2B lesions. OBJECTIVE The 261 lesions included 91 low-grade intramucosal neoplasia lesions (34.9%), 132 high-grade intramucosal neoplasia lesions (50.6%), 13 submucosal invasive cancer lesions (5.0%), and 25 deep submucosal invasive cancer lesions (9.6%). The coincidence rate between endoscopic prediction and pathological diagnosis of these lesions was 55.6% (145/ 261). The macroscopic type and size of the lesions were significantly associated with the diagnostic accuracy of JNET type 2B lesions (P < 0.001). There was a significant difference in the diagnostic accuracy among the lesions with different pit pattern types (P < 0.001). OBJECTIVE Both the macroscopic type and size affect the accuracy of endoscopic diagnosis of JNET type 2B colorectal lesions. JNET classification combined with pit pattern types can have better accuracy in predicting the pathological diagnosis of these lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pit pattern classification using magnifying chromoendoscopy is the established method for diagnosing colorectal lesions. The Japan Narrow-band-imaging (NBI) Expert Team (JNET) classification is a novel NBI magnifying endoscopic classification that focuses on the vessel, and surface patterns.
AIM To determine the diagnostic efficacy of each category of the JNET and Pit pattern classifications for colorectal lesions.
METHODS A systematic literature search was performed using PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic odds ratio, and area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve of each category of the JNET and Pit pattern classifications were calculated.
RESULTS A total of 19227 colorectal lesions in 31 studies were included. The diagnostic performance of the JNET classification was equivalent to the Pit pattern classification in each corresponding category. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC) for each category of the JNET classification were as follows: 0.73 (95%CI: 0.55-0.85), 0.99 (95%CI: 0.97-1.00), and 0.97 (95%CI: 0.95-0.98), respectively, for Type 1; 0.88 (95%CI: 0.78-0.94), 0.72 (95%CI: 0.64-0.79), and 0.84 (95%CI: 0.81-0.87), respectively, for Type 2A; 0.56 (95%CI: 0.47-0.64), 0.91 (95%CI: 0.79-0.96), and 0.72 (95%CI: 0.68-0.76), respectively, for Type 2B; 0.51 (95%CI: 0.42-0.61), 1.00 (95%CI: 1.00-1.00), and 0.90 (95%CI: 0.87-0.93), respectively, for Type 3.
CONCLUSION This meta-analysis suggests that the diagnostic efficacy of the JNET classification may be equivalent to that of the Pit pattern classification. However, due to its simpler and clearer clinical application, the JNET classification should be promoted for the classification of colorectal lesions, and to guide the treatment strategy.
