Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to extract endoscopic findings for diagnosing colorectal neoplasia associated with sessile serrated lesions (SSLs), which are of significant interest. Methods To compare the magnifying narrow-band imaging (NBI) findings with microscopic morphology, we classified SSLs into two groups: Group A SSLs included the majority of uniform SSLs and any dysplasia other than that classified as group B SSLs. Group B SSLs included SSLs with intramucosal and invasive carcinoma. We also quantitatively assessed visible vessels using ImageJ software. Results This study included 47 patients with 50 group B SSLs who underwent endoscopic resection between 2012 and 2020. The results were retrospectively compared with those of 237 patients with 311 group A SSLs that underwent endoscopic resection. Using conventional white-light endoscopy, significantly more group B SSLs had uneven shapes and some reddening compared to group A SSLs. The diagnostic odds ratios for group B SSLs were as follows: lesions with a diameter ≥10 mm, 9.76; uneven shape, 3.79; reddening, 15.46; and visible vessels with NBI, 11.32. Regarding visible vessels with NBI, the specificity and diagnostic accuracy for group B SSLs were 94.9% and 93.1%, respectively. The percentage of the vascular tonal area of NBI images was significantly larger for group B SSLs than for group A SSLs (3.97% vs. 0.29%; p < 0.01). Conclusions SSLs with reddening and/or a diameter ≥10 mm are suspected to contain cancerous components. Moreover, visible vessels observed using magnifying NBI can serve as objective indicators for diagnosing SSLs with cancerous components with a high degree of accuracy.

Abstract
Owing to its desirable ability to fabricate complex shapes, three-dimensional printing is preferred over casting for manufacturing dentures. Furthermore, titanium is widely used in dental implants and dentures because of its high corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, strength, and low density. In this study, we aimed to develop a new metal denture material from three-dimensional-printed (3DP) to achieve lighter weight and greater strength than those of PMMA dentures. Hollow (3DP-H) structure and solid (3DP-S) structure titanium plate specimens of 0.5, 1.0, and 3.0 mm in thickness were used. Casted Ti, casted Co-Cr, and PMMA plates were fabricated for comparison. Elastic modulus, density, thermal conductivity, hardness, and proof stress of the specimens were measured and plotted on a radar chart to enable multifaceted evaluation. The results indicated that the density of the 3DP-H plates reduced by 28-36% compared with those of 3DP-S and cast Ti plates. The weight of the metal-denture-equivalent section of the 0.5-mm-thick 3DP-H titanium-plated denture reduced to two-thirds that of the 2.0-mm-thick PMMA denture. The proof stress of the 0.5-mm-thick 3DP-H plate increased to about 3 times that of the 2.0-mm-thick PMMA plate. The total value of the 0.5-mm-thick 3DP-H titanium plates was higher than it of the 1.0-mm-thick PMMA plates. This study suggests that it is possible to produce 3DP-H titanium plate dentures exhibiting not only extremely lightweight compared to conventional PMMA dentures but also sufficient strength.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS To date, no regional evidence of long-term colorectal cancer (CRC) risk reduction after endoscopic premalignant lesion removal has been established. We aimed to analyze this over a long-term follow-up evaluation. METHODS This was a prospective cohort study of participants from the Japan Polyp Study conducted at 11 Japanese institutions. Participants underwent scheduled follow-up colonoscopies after a 2-round baseline colonoscopy process. The primary outcome was CRC incidence after randomization. The observed/expected ratio of CRC was calculated using data from the population-based Osaka Cancer Registry. Secondary outcomes were the incidence and characteristics of advanced neoplasia (AN). RESULTS A total of 1895 participants were analyzed. The mean number of follow-up colonoscopies and the median follow-up period were 2.8 years (range, 1-15 y) and 6.1 years (range, 0.8-11.9 y; 11,559.5 person-years), respectively. Overall, 4 patients (all males) developed CRCs during the study period. The observed/expected ratios for CRC in all participants, males, and females, were as follows: 0.14 (86% reduction), 0.18, and 0, respectively, and 77 ANs were detected in 71 patients (6.1 per 1000 person-years). Of the 77 ANs detected, 31 lesions (40.3%) were laterally spreading tumors, nongranular type. Nonpolypoid colorectal neoplasms (NP-CRNs), including flat (<10 mm), depressed, and laterally spreading, accounted for 59.7% of all detected ANs. Furthermore, 2 of the 4 CRCs corresponded to T1 NP-CRNs. CONCLUSIONS Endoscopic removal of premalignant lesions, including NP-CRNs, effectively reduced CRC risk. More than half of metachronous ANs removed by surveillance colonoscopy were NP-CRNs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES A computer-aided detection (CAD) system was developed to support the detection of colorectal lesions by deep learning using video images of lesions and normal mucosa recorded during colonoscopy. The study's purpose was to evaluate the stand-alone performance of this device under blinded conditions. METHODS This multicenter prospective observational study was conducted at four Japanese institutions. We used 326 videos of colonoscopies recorded with patient consent at institutions in which the Ethics Committees approved the study. The sensitivity of successful detection of the CAD system was calculated using the target lesions, which were detected by adjudicators from two facilities for each lesion appearance frame; inconsistencies were settled by consensus. Successful detection was defined as display of the detection flag on the lesion for more than 0.5 s within 3 s of appearance. RESULTS Of the 556 target lesions from 185 cases, detection success sensitivity was 97.5% (95% confidence interval [CI] 95.8-98.5%). The "successful detection sensitivity per colonoscopy" was 93% (95% CI 88.3-95.8%). For the frame-based sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were 86.6% (95% CI 84.8-88.4%), 84.7% (95% CI 83.8-85.6%), 34.9% (95% CI 32.3-37.4%), and 98.2% (95% CI 97.8-98.5%), respectively.

Abstract
Cowden syndrome (CS)/PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS) is a rare autosomal dominantly inherited condition caused by germline pathogenesis. It is associated with multiple hamartomatous lesions occurring in various organs and tissues, including the gastrointestinal tract, skin, mucous membranes, breast, thyroid, endometrium, and brain. Macrocephaly or multiple characteristic mucocutaneous lesions commonly develop in individuals in their 20s. This syndrome is occasionally diagnosed in childhood due to the occurrence of multiple gastrointestinal polyps, autism spectrum disorders, and intellectual disability. CS/PHTS can be diagnosed taking the opportunity of multigene panel testing in patients with cancer. Appropriate surveillance for early diagnosis of associated cancers is required because patients have a high risk of cancers including breast, thyroid, colorectal, endometrial, and renal cancers. Under these circumstances, there is growing concern regarding the management of CS/PHTS in Japan, but there are no available practice guidelines. To address this situation, the guideline committee, which included specialists from multiple academic societies, was organized by the Research Group on Rare and Intractable Diseases granted by the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare, Japan. The present clinical guidelines explain the principles in the diagnosis and management of CS/PHTS, together with four clinical questions and the corresponding recommendations, incorporating the concept of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation system. Herein, we present an English version of the guideline, some of which have been updated, to promote seamless implementation of accurate diagnosis and appropriate management of pediatric, adolescent, and adult patients with CS/PHTS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION It has been recently reported that deep invasive submucosal (T1b) colorectal cancer (CRC) without other pathological risk factors for lymph node metastasis has a low rate of lymph node metastasis, increasing the possibility of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in the future. However, ESD for T1b CRC is technically difficult, and some lesions cannot be resected en bloc. This study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with vertical incomplete ESD in T1b CRC. METHODS We retrospectively studied 140 pathological T1b CRC lesions that underwent initial ESD at our institution between January 2011 and October 2020, and categorized them into positive vertical margin (PVM) and negative vertical margin (NVM) groups. The risk factors for PVM were examined using univariate and multivariate analyses, and a subgroup analysis for T1b CRC with an obvious depressed surface was performed. RESULTS Multivariate analysis revealed obvious depression (hazard ratio [HR]: 7.4; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.47-22.5) and severe fibrosis (HR: 11.4; 95% CI: 3.95-33.0) as significant risk factors for PVM. Length of depressed surface ≥12 mm (HR: 6.19; 95% CI: 1.56 -24.6) was identified as an independent predictor of PVM for T1b CRC with an obvious depression. CONCLUSION Pathological T1b CRC cases with an obvious depression and severe fibrosis are at a high risk of vertical incomplete ESD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is the gold standard for the treatment of noninvasive large colorectal lesions, despite challenges associated with nonlifting lesions and a high rate of local recurrence. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) offers the possibility of overcoming these EMR limitations. However, a higher risk of complications and longer procedure time prevented its dissemination. As ESD now provides more stable results because of standardized techniques compared with those used earlier, this study aimed to quantify the rates of en bloc and curative resections, as well as ESD complications, in the present situation. METHODS A multicenter, large-scale, prospective cohort trial of ESD was conducted at 20 institutions in Japan. Consecutive patients scheduled for ESD were enrolled from February 2013 to January 2015. RESULTS ESD was performed for 1883 patients (1965 lesions). The mean procedure time was 80.6 min; en bloc and curative resections were achieved in 1759 (97.0%) and 1640 (90.4%) lesions, respectively, in epithelial lesions ≥20 mm. Intra- and postprocedural perforations occurred in 51 (2.6%) and 12 (0.6%) lesions, respectively, and emergency surgery for adverse events was performed in nine patients (0.5%). CONCLUSIONS This trial conducted after the standardization of the ESD technique throughout Japan revealed a higher curability, shorter procedure time, and lower risk of complications than those reported previously. Considering that the target lesions of ESD are more advanced than those of EMR, ESD can be a first-line treatment for large colorectal lesions with acceptable risk and procedure time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) requires advanced endoscopic skill. For safer and more reliable ESD implementation, various traction devices have been developed in recent years. The purpose of this research was to evaluate whether an ESD training program using a traction device (TD) would contribute to the improvement of trainees' skill acquisition. METHODS The differences in treatment outcomes and learning curves by the training program were compared before and after the introduction of TD (control group: January 2014 to March 2016; TD group: April 2016 to June 2018). RESULTS A total of 316 patients were included in the analysis (TD group: 202 cases; control group: 114 cases). The number of cases required to achieve proficiency in ESD techniques was 10 in the TD group and 21 in the control group. Compared to the control group, the TD group had a significant advantage in ESD self-completion rate (73.8% vs. 58.8%), dissection speed (19.5 mm2/min vs. 15.9 mm2/min), en bloc resection rate (100% vs. 90%), and R0 resection rate (96% vs. 83%). CONCLUSIONS The rate of colorectal ESD self-completion by trainees improved immediately after the start of the training program using a traction device compared to the conventional method, and the dissection speed tended to increase linearly with ESD experience. We believe that ESD training using a traction device will help ESD techniques to be performed safely and reliably among trainees.

Abstract
Background/Aims Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for residual or recurrent colorectal lesions after incomplete resection is challenging because of severe fibrosis. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of the pocket-creation method (PCM) with a traction device (TD) with that of conventional ESD for residual or recurrent colorectal lesions.
Methods We retrospectively studied 72 patients with residual or recurrent colorectal lesions resected using ESD. Overall, 31 and 41 lesions were resected using PCM with TD and conventional ESD methods, respectively. We compared patient background and treatment outcomes between the PCM with TD and conventional ESD groups, respectively. The primary endpoints were en bloc resection and R0 resection rates. The secondary endpoints were the dissection speed and incidence of adverse events.
Results En bloc resection was feasible in all cases with PCM with TD, but failed in 22% of cases of conventional ESD. The R0 resection rates for PCM with TD and conventional ESD were 97% and 66%, respectively. Dissection was significantly faster in the PCM with TD group (13.0 vs. 7.9 mm2/min). Perforation and postoperative bleeding were observed in one patient in each group.
Conclusions PCM with TD is an effective method for treating residual or recurrent colorectal lesions after incomplete resection.

Abstract
The Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society published the second edition of the "Guidelines for Colorectal Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection/Endoscopic Mucosal Resection" in 2019 to clarify the indications for colorectal endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection and to ensure appropriate preoperative diagnoses as well as effective and safe endoscopic treatment in front-line clinical settings. Endoscopic resection with electrocautery, including polypectomy and EMR, is indicated for colorectal polyps. Recently, the number of facilities introducing and implementing cold polypectomy without electrocautery has increased. Herein, we establish supplementary guidelines for cold polypectomy. Considering that the level of evidence for each statement is limited, these supplementary guidelines must be verified in clinical practice.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cardiac extracellular matrix (ECM) is critically involved in cardiac homeostasis by providing mechanical support as well as modulating growth factor signaling. Cardiac ECM dysregulation has been shown in heart failure pathogenesis, and accumulation of chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglycans (CS-GAGs) was previously shown to exacerbate heart failure by augmenting inflammation and fibrosis at the chronic phase. However, it remains unclear whether and the mechanism by which CS-GAGs cause cardiac dysfunction, especially at the acute phase.
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to elucidate the role of CS-GAGs in heart failure.
Methods
In this study, we analyzed the role of CS-GAGs in heart failure using mice with target deletion of chondroitin sulfate N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (ChGn)-2 that elongates CS chains of GAGs. Heart failure was induced by transverse aortic constriction (TAC) in mice. Since cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) are the primary cells for ECM production in the heart, we explored the role of CF-derived ECM in cardiomyocyte apoptosis. CFs were given stretch stimuli that mimic pressure overload conditions.
Results
Significant CS-GAGs accumulation was detected in the heart of WT mice after TAC, which was substantially reduced in the heart of ChGn2−/− mice. Unexpectedly, loss of ChGn-2 deteriorated left ventricular systolic dysfunction accompanied by augmented cardiac hypertrophy and increased cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Stretch stimuli increased ChGn-2 expression and enhanced GAG production in CFs. Interestingly, only conditioned medium (CM) derived from stretched CFs showed protective effects on cardiomyocyte death induced by doxorubicin. Degradation of CS-GAGs in CFs-derived CM by using Chondroitinase ABC abolished its cardioprotective effect. Further experiments revealed that this cardioprotective effect is at least partially through CS-GAGs-derived PI3K/AKT pathway activation via CD44.
Conclusion
Our data revealed that CF-derived GAGs protect cardiomyocytes from death in the acute phase of heart failure due to pressure overload; thus, insufficient GAGs production caused by loss of ChGn-2 exacerbated heart failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with Lynch syndrome are at an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer, and the adenoma-carcinoma sequence is accelerated in these patients. However, the clinicopathological characteristics of colorectal neoplasms in Lynch syndrome patients are not well-known. METHODS A total of 325 consecutive colorectal neoplasms were endoscopically removed from 68 patients with Lynch syndrome between June 2005 and May 2018 and retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS Of the 325 lesions, 94 (29%), 220 (68%) and 11 (3%) were from patients with MLH1, MSH2 and MSH6 mutations, respectively. The median lesion size was 5 mm (range 2-40 mm), with 229 (71%) lesions having a non-polypoid morphology. The frequencies of advanced neoplasms, including high-grade adenomas, intramucosal carcinomas and submucosal invasive carcinomas were 14, 34, 97 and 93% for lesions with diameters of <5, ≥5 and <10, ≥10 and <20, and ≥20 mm, respectively. The frequencies of advanced neoplasms in the proximal colon, distal colon and rectum did not significantly differ (36, 35 and 41%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that the malignant transformation interval from low-grade adenomas to advanced neoplasms is similar in all parts of the colon. Furthermore, since one-third of neoplastic lesions with diameters of ≥5 and <10 mm and most of those ≥10 mm were advanced neoplasms, we recommend that in Lynch syndrome patients, careful colonoscopic surveillance should be performed throughout the colon, and all neoplastic lesions, regardless of the size, should be subjected to detailed endoscopic examination, complete resection and detailed pathological examination.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Japanese Society of Gastroenterology (JSGE) published ''Daicho Polyp Shinryo Guideline 2014'' in Japanese and a part of this guideline was published in English as "Evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for management of colorectal polyps" in the Journal of Gastroenterology in 2015. A revised version of the Japanese-language guideline was published in 2020, and here we introduce a part of the contents of revised version. METHODS The guideline committee discussed and drew up a series of clinical questions (CQs). Recommendation statements for the CQs were limited to items with multiple therapeutic options. Items with established conclusions that had 100% agreement with previous guidelines (background questions) and items with no (or old) evidence that are topics for future research (future research questions: FRQs) were given descriptions only. To address the CQs and FRQs, PubMed, ICHUSHI, and other sources were searched for relevant articles published in English from 1983 to October 2018 and articles published in Japanese from 1983 to November 2018. The Japan Medical Library Association was also commissioned to search for relevant materials. Manual searches were performed for questions with insufficient online references. RESULTS The professional committee created 18 CQs and statements concerning the current concept and diagnosis/treatment of various colorectal polyps, including their epidemiology, screening, pathophysiology, definition and classification, diagnosis, management, practical treatment, complications, and surveillance after treatment, and other colorectal lesions (submucosal tumors, nonneoplastic polyps, polyposis, hereditary tumors, ulcerative colitis-associated tumors/carcinomas). CONCLUSIONS After evaluation by the moderators, evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for management of colorectal polyps were proposed for 2020. This report addresses the therapeutic related CQs introduced when formulating these guidelines.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess whether follow-up colonoscopy after polypectomy at 3 years only, or at 1 and 3 years would effectively detect advanced neoplasia (AN), including nonpolypoid colorectal neoplasms (NP-CRNs). DESIGN A prospective multicentre randomised controlled trial was conducted in 11 Japanese institutions. The enrolled participants underwent a two-round baseline colonoscopy (interval: 1 year) to remove all neoplastic lesions. Subsequently, they were randomly assigned to undergo follow-up colonoscopy at 1 and 3 years (2-examination group) or at 3 years only (1-examination group). The incidence of AN, defined as lesions with low-grade dysplasia ≥10 mm, high-grade dysplasia or invasive cancer, at follow-up colonoscopy was evaluated. RESULTS A total of 3926 patients were enrolled in this study. The mean age was 57.3 (range: 40-69) years, and 2440 (62%) were male. Of these, 2166 patients were assigned to two groups (2-examination: 1087, 1-examination: 1079). Overall, we detected 29 AN in 28 patients at follow-up colonoscopy in both groups. On per-protocol analysis (701 in 2-examination vs 763 in 1-examination group), the incidence of AN was similar between the two groups (1.7% vs 2.1%, p=0.599). The results of the non-inferiority test were significant (p=0.017 in per-protocol, p=0.001 in intention-to-treat analysis). NP-CRNs composed of dominantly of the detected AN (62%, 18/29), and most of them were classified into laterally spreading tumour non-granular type (83%, 15/18). CONCLUSION After a two-round baseline colonoscopy, follow-up colonoscopy at 3 years detected AN, including NP-CRNs, as effectively as follow-up colonoscopies performed after 1 and 3 years.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Catheter ablation of LV summit VT can be challenging due to possible subepicardial or intramural site of origin and its close proximity to the major coronary vessels.
Objective
Local electrograms monitoring inside LV summit communicating vein potentially defines arrhythmogenic substrates and facilitates ablation from the adjacent anatomical structures.
Results
We experienced two cases of LV summit VT with epicardial local abnormal ventricular activities (Epi-LAVA) recorded from distal bipolar electrode of the 2F microcatheter in communicating vein close to the superior portion of LV summit. During sinus rhythm, Epi-LAVA displayed isolated late fractionated potentials in the first case but had initial fractionated potentials fused with terminal portion of far-field ventricular signals and late isolated potentials exhibiting 2:1 conduction in the second case. Epi-LAVA represented earliest ventricular signals during VT in both cases. Pace mapping at Epi-LAVA sites yielded single QRS morphology with excellent pacemap score and induced VT. Our strategy was to perform ablation at the facing site of Epi-LAVA aiming to eliminate the potentials transmurally. Radiofrequency (RF) energy was applied above and under the left coronary cusp opposite to Epi-LAVA sites using 3.5-mm tip open-irrigation catheter with a power of 30–35 W for 60 seconds under real-time intracardiac echocardiograhic guidance. VT was slowed and terminated in 1 second. Repeat ablation delayed and completely abolished Epi-LAVA followed by noninducibility of VT. Anatomical proximity of the left coronary cusp semilunar insertion and subepicardial or intramural site of origin possibly dictates successful ablation. Epi-LAVA from coronary vein mapping serve as a new landmark of the ablation target with a measurable procedural endpoint.
Conclusion
Elimination of epicardial substrates with RF energy application at the left coronary cusp can be a novel strategy for LV summit VT ablation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Serrated lesions of the colorectum often have complex histological morphology, and some groups include subtypes with different molecular biology. This study aimed to characterize serrated lesions with heterogeneous histology that was dominated by a traditional serrated adenoma (TSA) component. METHODS Representative lesions were selected based on both endoscopic and histological features. If a lesion had more than one component, each of the different structural parts was considered as a separate sample. DNA was extracted from 177 samples of 60 lesions and amplified to screen for BRAF and K/NRAS mutations. RESULTS Heterogeneous TSA samples were classified into four categories: sessile serrated lesion with TSA (SA-1); TSAs with microvesicular hyperplastic polyp (SA-2); TSAs with unclassified adenoma, characterized by tubulo-serrated histology (SA-3); and TSAs with conventional adenomas (SA-4). On endoscopy, SA-1 lesions had sessile-elevated morphology with the small reddish elevations; SA-2 lesions had a pedunculated appearance with a whitish mucosal component at the stalk; SA-3 lesions had a sessile-elevated component surrounded by flat spreading margins; and SA-4 lesions had mixed adenomatous morphology. Eighteen of the 19 category SA-1 and -2 lesions (95%) had BRAF mutations, and all of the SA-3 and -4 lesions had K/NRAS mutations. CONCLUSIONS Traditional serrated adenomas were classified into two phenotypes according to their molecular characteristics: microvesicular serrated subtypes with BRAF mutations (SA-1 and -2 lesions) and subtypes containing tubulo-serrated/conventional adenoma with K/NRAS mutations (SA-3 and -4 lesions). Each subtype had characteristic macroscopic and microscopic morphologies and was distinct on endoscopy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is technically demanding while ensuring safety, especially in cases with fibrosis and/or poor maneuverability. To overcome such difficulties, we developed a novel method called the pocket-creation method with a traction device (PCM with TD). We then evaluated the effectiveness and safety of PCM with TD in colorectal ESD compared to other conventional methods. METHODS In total, 324 colorectal lesions treated with ESD from July 2018 to June 2019 were included. The following three treatment strategies were used: conventional ESD (CE), CE with TD, and PCM with TD. Patient backgrounds and treatment outcomes were retrospectively compared and analyzed. RESULTS As ESD methods, CE, CE with TD, and PCM with TD account for 58% (187/324), 24% (78/324), and 18% (59/324), respectively. No significant difference was observed among the three groups in en bloc and R0 resection rates or adverse events. The rate of lesions with fibrosis and poor maneuverability was significantly higher in the PCM with TD group (CE group vs CE with TD group vs PCM with TD group: fibrosis, 24% vs 47% vs 64%, p < 0.001; poor maneuverability, 5.3% vs 13% vs 20%, p = 0.002). Dissection speed was significantly higher in the PCM with TD than in the CE with TD group (p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS PCM with TD can achieve a stable en bloc resection rate and R0 dissection rate without adverse events even in the hands of trainees, irrespective of the size and location of the lesion, presence of fibrosis, and under poor maneuverability conditions.

Abstract
Suitable lesions for endoscopic treatment include not only early colorectal carcinomas but also several types of precarcinomatous adenomas. It is important to establish practical guidelines wherein preoperative diagnosis of colorectal neoplasia and selection of endoscopic treatment procedures are appropriately outlined and to ensure that actual endoscopic treatment is useful and safe in general hospitals when carried out in accordance with guidelines. In cooperation with the Japanese Society for Cancer of the Colon and Rectum, the Japanese Society of Coloproctology, and the Japanese Society of Gastroenterology, the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society compiled colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection/endoscopic mucosal resection guidelines by using evidence-based methods in 2014. The first edition of these guidelines was published 5 years ago. Accordingly, we have published the second edition of these guidelines based on recent new knowledge and evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Determining the depth of invasion of early stage colorectal cancer has been emphasized as a means of improving endoscopic diagnostic accuracy. Recent studies have focused on other pathological risk factors for lymph node metastasis (LNM). We investigated the significance of depth of invasion and predictive properties of other endoscopic findings. METHODS We retrospectively investigated 846 patients with submucosal invasive (T1) colorectal cancer who received an accurate pathological diagnosis and were treated between January 2005 and December 2016. Pathological risk factors associated with LNM were reviewed. We divided patients into groups: low-risk T1 colorectal cancer (LRC; no risk factors) and high-risk T1 colorectal cancer (HRC; exhibiting lymphovascular invasion, tumor budding grade of 2/3, and/or poor differentiation) and studied predictive endoscopic factors for HRC. RESULTS Significant risk factors for LNM in multivariate analysis were lymphovascular invasion [odds ratio (OR) 8.09; 95% confidence interval (CI) 3.84-17.1], tumor budding (OR 1.89; 95% CI 1.09-3.29), and histological differentiation (OR 2.09; 95% CI 1.12-3.89). The LNM-positive rate with only deep submucosal invasion was 1.6%. Significant predictive factors for HRC in multivariate analysis identified rectal tumor location (OR 1.92; 95% CI 1.35 -2.72, depression (OR 2.73; 95% CI 1.96 -3.80), protuberance within the depression (OR 2.58; 95% CI 1.39- 4.78), expansiveness (OR 2.39; 95% CI 1.27- 4.50), and loss of mucosal patterns (OR 1.90; 95% CI 1.20 -3.01) as significant factors. CONCLUSIONS Rectal tumor location, depression, protuberance within the depression, expansiveness, and loss of mucosal patterns could be predictive factors for HRC.

Abstract
Background and Aim Although colorectal laterally spreading tumors (LSTs) can be classified into four subtypes, the histopathological characteristics are known to differ among these subtypes. We therefore performed a logistic regression analysis to determine whether the risk of pathological T1 cancer of large colorectal LSTs can be predicted based on factors such as endoscopic findings in a large group of patients enrolled in a multicenter study in Japan. Methods In the main study, we assessed 1236 colorectal adenomas or early cancers that were classified as LSTs measuring 20 mm or more in diameter and treated endoscopically. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine whether factors such as the subtype of LST could be used to predict the risk of pathological T1 cancer. A validation study of 356 large colorectal LSTs was conducted to confirm the validity of the results obtained in the main study. Results The locations and tumor diameter of the LSTs in the main study were found to differ significantly according to the LST subclassification (P < 0.001). The frequency of pathological T1 cancers was the highest at 36% of LST nongranular pseudodepressed type, followed by 14% of LST nongranular flat‐elevated type, 11% of LST granular nodular mixed type, and 3% of LST granular homogenous type lesions. The risk of pathological T1 cancer was significantly associated with LST subclassification and tumor diameter. The area under the curve (AUC) was high (0.743). In the validation study, the AUC was 0.573. Conclusions In patients with large colorectal LSTs resected endoscopically, the risk of pathological T1 cancer can be predicted on the basis of the LST subclassification and tumor diameter.

Abstract
Background and study aims Colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is technically challenging owing to submucosal fibrosis and difficult endoscope manipulation. Therefore, various traction methods have been reported. We often use a simple looped nylon thread attached to a clip to assist with dissection. We assessed the feasibility of mentor-guided colorectal ESD using this traction device (TD). Patients and methods From December 2017 to March 2018, we retrospectively reviewed outcomes of 101 colorectal ESDs performed by two groups of endoscopists (A, 5 endoscopists with colorectal ESD experience of < 50 cases; B, 5 endoscopists with experience of > 300 cases). Group A was further divided into two subgroups that performed ESD with or without TD. Results No significant difference was observed in ESD completion rates (86.1 % [62/72] vs. 96.6 % [28/29]; odds ratio [OR], 0.22; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 0.005 - 1.71; P = 0.17) or procedure times (52.0 min vs. 40.0 min; P = 0.27) and adverse event rates between groups A and B. The rate of TD use was significantly higher in group A than in group B (44.4 % [32/72] vs. 20.7 % [6/29]; OR, 3.03; CI, 1.04 - 10.23; P = 0.03). The completion rate was not different between the two subgroups of group A (with vs. without TD) (81.2 % [26/32] vs. 90.0 % [36/40]; OR, 0.49; CI, 0.09 - 2.29; P = 0.32); however, the proportion of fibrosis cases was significantly higher in the TD-use group (46.8 % [15/32] vs. 22.5 % [9/40]; OR, 2.99; CI, 0.98 - 9.59; P = 0.03). Conclusion Mentor-guided colorectal ESD using TD was performed efficiently, safely, and in a manner comparable to that of experts.

Abstract
SummaryFactor VII coagulant activity (FVIIc) and fibrinogen (Fbg) levels have been investigated as cardiovascular risk factors. We studied these two factors with stratification for age, sex and blood pressure, and the relation with other atherosclerotic risk factors in a Japanese general population. The subjects were 3,139 Japanese (1,315 males and 1,824 females) aged 30 to 89 in 1992 and 1993. A linear increase with age was observed in the levels of Fbg in both men and women, but no differences were observed between men and women in each age group. A linear increase with age was also seen in the levels of FVIIc in women, but the levels of FVIIc in men were significantly higher for the age group 40-49 years than for any other age group. The levels of FVIIc in women were significantly higher than in men at age ≥60 years. As concerning the effect of alcohol intake status, Fbg had a tendency to decrease with alcohol intake. Fbg and FVIIc levels were associated with an increase in smoking status in men, but no association was seen in women in either Fbg or FVIIc. FVIIc was positively correlated with age, body mass index, total cholesterol, triglycerides and fasting insulin level. Fbg was positively correlated with age, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides in women, but Fbg had few positive correlations with risk factors in men.A comparison with previous Western studies showed that the Fbg levels of our Japanese population were lower than those of the Caucasians studied, but the present FVIIc levels were nearly the same level or slightly higher than theirs. The association of Fbg and FVIIc and with other cardiovascular risk factors in Japanese was similar to those observed in Caucasians.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen (CA)19-9 are used in clinical practice as tumor markers to diagnose or monitor colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, However, their specificities and sensitivities are not ideal, and novel alternatives are needed. In this study, mass spectrometry was used to search for screening markers, focusing on glycan alterations of glycoproteins in the sera of CRC patients. METHODS Glycopeptides were prepared from serum glycoproteins separated from blood samples of 80 CRC patients and 50 healthy volunteers, and their levels were measured by liquid chromatography time-of flight mass spectrometry (LC-TOF-MS). RESULTS Leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein-1 with fucosylated triantennary N-glycan (LRG-FTG) was identified as CRC marker after evaluating 30,000 candidate glycopeptide peaks. The average LRG-FTG level in CRC patients (1.25 ± 0.973 U/mL) was much higher than that in healthy volunteers (0.496 ± 0.433 U/mL, P < 10- 10), and its sensitivity and specificity exceeded those of CA19-9. The combination of CEA and LRG-FTG showed a complementary effect and had better sensitivity (84%), specificity (90%), and AUC (0.91 by ROC analysis) than each marker alone or any other previously reported marker. LRG-FTG alone or combined with CEA also corresponded well with patient response to treatment. CONCLUSIONS We identified LRG-FTG as a new CRC marker, with a sensitivity and specificity exceeding CA19-9. The combination of LRG-FTG and CEA showed much higher sensitivity and specificity than each marker alone. Further validation beyond this initial exploratory cohort is warranted.

Abstract
A screening fecal occult blood test was positive in a 76-year-old female. Colonoscopy showed laterally spreading tumor (LST)over 15 cm at lower rectum. endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD)was performed. Pathological findings showed LST-G, 150×100 mm, adenocarcinoma(tub1-tub2), tubular adenoma, moderate-severe atypia, Tis(M), ly(-), v(-), HMX, VMX. Two years later CT detected one swollen lymph node at mesorectum and PET-CT showed FDG up take at the lymph node. We diagnosed lymph node metastasis, performed laparoscopic very low anterior resection. Pathological findings showed one lymph node metastasis, but there were no residual cancer at rectum. We cut the surgical specimen at 5mm intervals because of it's big size. It might be impossible with this procedure to detect SM invasion at this specimen.

Abstract
For decades, hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been considered a treatment option in patients with chronic radiation-induced proctitis after pelvic radiation therapy. Refractory cases of chronic radiation-induced proctitis include ulceration, stenosis, and intestinal fistulas with perforation. Appropriate treatment needs to be given. In the present study, we assessed the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in five patients with radiation-induced rectal ulcers. Significant improvement and complete ulcer resolution were observed in all treated patients; no side-effects were reported. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has a low toxicity profile and appears to be highly effective in patients with radiation-induced rectal ulcers. However, hyperbaric oxygen therapy alone failed to improve telangiectasia and easy bleeding in four of the five patients; these patients were further treated with argon plasma coagulation (APC). Although hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be effective in healing patients with ulcers, it seems inadequate in cases with easy bleeding. Altogether, these data suggest that combination therapy with hyperbaric oxygen therapy and APC may be an effective and safe treatment strategy in patients with radiation-induced rectal ulcers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Anticoagulants are used to prevent thromboembolic events. Direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) are our new choice; however, their effect on bleeding risk for endoscopic treatment has not been reported. We aimed to assess the clinical effect of DOAC compared to warfarin for gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). METHODS We retrospectively studied 97 patients on anticoagulants and treated 108 gastric neoplasms with ESD in three referral institutes. Twenty-four patients were taking DOAC, including dabigatran (12), rivaroxaban (11), and apixaban (one) and 73 were taking warfarin. RESULTS In the DOAC group, delayed bleeding rate was significantly higher in patients on rivaroxaban than in patients on dabigatran (45% vs 0%, P < 0.05) without relation to heparin bridge therapy (HBT). In the warfarin group, 78% of patients underwent HBT, and delayed bleeding rate was significantly higher in patients with HBT than in those without (36% vs 0%, P < 0.05). Delayed bleeding rate increased as intake of antithrombotic agents increased (P < 0.05). HBT period was shorter (P < 0.05) in DOAC because DOAC achieve the maximum effect quicker, and hospitalization period was shorter (P < 0.05), compared with warfarin. Multivariate analysis showed that HBT (OR, 10.7), rivaroxaban (OR, 6.00) and multiple antithrombotic agents (OR, 4.35) were independent delayed bleeding risk factors. CONCLUSIONS The DOAC effect differs in each agent. Dabigatran is a feasible alternative to warfarin for shortening the hospitalization period and decreasing delayed bleeding rate, although rivaroxaban has a significantly higher delayed bleeding risk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Siewert type II esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma encompasses both gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA) and Barrett's esophageal adenocarcinoma (BEA) due to short-segment Barrett's esophagus. We compared these two types of Siewert type II esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma in terms of background factors and clinical outcomes of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). METHODS We enrolled 139 patients (142 lesions) who underwent ESD from 2006 to 2014 at our institution. Background factors evaluated were age, sex, body mass index, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperuricemia, diabetes mellitus, smoking, drinking, double cancer, and endoscopic findings. Clinical outcomes evaluated were procedure time, en bloc resection rate, curative resection rate, and adverse events. RESULTS There were 87 GCA lesions (61.2%) and 55 BEA lesions. Features of BEA [55 lesions (38.8%)] included a younger age, small diameter, and a protruding type, along with a high frequency of esophageal hiatal hernia and less mucosal atrophy. There were no significant differences in lifestyle-related background factors between the GCA and BEA groups. Curative resection rate was greater for GCA (81%) than for BEA (66%) (P = 0.01). There were no serious adverse events in either group. Among the factors for noncurative resection, lymphovascular invasion and depth of invasion were greater for BEA (33.3 vs. 7 and 20.7 vs. 8.2%, respectively (P < 0.01). Of the noncured patients, 70% underwent additional surgery and none had postoperative lymph node metastasis. CONCLUSIONS Siewert type II adenocarcinoma encompasses two types of cancers with different etiologies: GCA and BEA. Although there are no significant differences in lifestyle-related background factors between GCA and BEA, BEA is a risk factor for noncurative resection via ESD.

Abstract
A 72-year-old male with nausea and heartburn was found to have early pharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, superficial and advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and early esophageal adenocarcinoma by esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Computerized tomography demonstrated left cardiac lymph node swellings. We prioritized the treatment for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, as this was the most advanced cancer among the triple primaries. The patient underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma followed by esophagectomy. Four months after esophagectomy, endoscopic submucosal dissection for pharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma was performed. This is a first report of pharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and esophageal adenocarcinoma occurring as triple primary cancers in a single patient. Smoking-induced tumor formation through DNA methylation is a common risk factor for patients with triple primary malignancies, being an example of epigenetic field cancerization induced by exposure to carcinogenic factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Owing to increased awareness and use of narrow-band imaging, there are more opportunities to treat superficial pharyngeal cancer (SPC). The present study aimed to describe the short- and long-term outcomes of endoscopic resection (ER) for SPC. METHODS This study included 166 consecutive SPC in 113 patients treated during 2006 to 2013 at one referral cancer center. In the first period, we treated patients using endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), in the second period using conventional ESD (cESD) and in the recent period using double-scope ESD (dsESD), which involves a second thin endoscope for assistance to produce traction. Median follow-up period was 30 months. RESULTS All lesions were diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma. Complete resection rate of cESD and dsESD procedures was 56.4% and 82.3% (P < 0.01), and local recurrence rate was 2.6% and 0.0%, respectively. Procedure duration was significantly shorter for dsESD than for cESD (P < 0.05). Four cases of recurrent lymph node (LN) metastasis were observed; however, all patients with LN metastases survived to a 48-month median interval after neck dissection. Risk factors for LN metastasis included subepithelium invasion, tumor thickness >1000 μm, droplet infiltration, and lymphovascular invasion. Overall survival rate after 5 years was 79.5%; no patients died of SPC. Cumulative rate of metachronous SPC after 5 years was 46.5%. CONCLUSION ER for SPC is a feasible and effective treatment, although metachronous SPC occurred frequently. For the technique of ER, dsESD was effective.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the incidence of lymph node metastasis (LNM) and its risk factors in patients with Siewert type I and type II pT1 adenocarcinomas.
METHODS We enrolled 85 patients [69 men, 16 women; median age (range), 67 (38-84) years] who had undergone esophagectomy or proximal gastrectomy for Siewert type I and type II pT1 adenocarcinomas. Predictive risk factors of LNM included age, sex, location of the tumor center, confirmed Barrett’s esophageal adenocarcinoma, tumor size, macroscopic tumor type, pathology, invasion depth, presence of ulceration, and lymphovascular invasion. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors predicting LNM. We also evaluated the frequencies of LNM for Siewert type I and type II pT1 adenocarcinomas in meta-data analysis.
RESULTS LNMs were found in 11 out of 85 patients (12.9%, 95%CI: 5.8-20.0). Only 1 of the 15 patients (6.6%, 95%CI: 0.0-19.2) who had a final diagnosis of pT1a adenocarcinoma had a positive LNM, whereas 10 of the 70 patients (14.2%, 95%CI: 6.0-22.4) with a final diagnosis of pT1b adenocarcinoma had positive LNM. Furthermore, only one of the 30 patients (3.3%, 95%CI: 0.0-9.7) with a tumor invasion depth within 500 μm from muscularis mucosae had positive LNM. Poor differentiation and lymphovascular invasion were independently associated with a risk of LNM. In meta-data analysis, 12 of the 355 patients (3.3%, 95%CI: 1.5-5.2) who had a final diagnosis of pT1a adenocarcinoma had a positive LNM, whereas 91 of the 438 patients (20.7%, 95%CI: 16.9-24.5) with a final diagnosis of pT1b adenocarcinoma had positive LNM.
CONCLUSION We consider endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is suitable for patients with Siewert type I and type II T1a adenocarcinomas. For patients with T1b adenocarcinoma, especially invasion depth is within 500 μm from muscularis mucosae with no other risk factor for LNM, diagnostic ESD could be a treatment option according to the overall status of patients and the presence of comorbidities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS A random biopsy is recommended for surveillance of ulcerative colitis (UC)-associated colorectal cancer. However, a targeted biopsy might be more effective. We conducted a randomized controlled trial to compare rates of neoplasia detection by targeted vs random biopsies in patients with UC. METHODS We performed a study of 246 patients with UC for 7 years or more, seen at 52 institutions in Japan from October 1, 2008 through December 31, 2010. Patients were randomly assigned to the random group (4 random biopsies collected every 10 cm in addition to targeted biopsies, n = 122) or the target group (biopsies collected from locations of suspected neoplasia, n = 124). The primary end point was the number of neoplastic lesions detected in a single surveillance colonoscopy. We estimated the ratio and difference in the mean number of neoplastic lesions between the groups. We also evaluated the non-inferiority between the groups as an exploratory study. A non-inferiority margin of 0.65 (0.13 of 0.20) was considered for the ratio of the mean number of neoplastic lesions between groups. RESULTS The mean number of biopsies found to contain neoplastic tissue per colonoscopy was 0.211 (24 of 114) in the target group and 0.168 (18 of 107) in the random group (ratio of 1.251; 95% confidence interval, 0.679-2.306). The lower limit was above the non-inferiority margin of 0.65. Neoplasias were detected in 11.4% of patients in the target group and 9.3% of patients in the random group (P = .617). Larger numbers of biopsy samples per colonoscopy were collected in the random group (34.8 vs 3.1 in the target group; P < .001), and the total examination time was longer (41.7 vs 26.6 minutes in the target group; P < .001). In the random group, all neoplastic tissues found in random biopsies were collected from areas of the mucosa with a history or presence of inflammation. CONCLUSIONS In a randomized controlled trial, we found that targeted and random biopsies detect similar proportions of neoplasias. However, a targeted biopsy appears to be a more cost-effective method. Random biopsies from areas without any signs of present or past inflammation were not found to contain neoplastic tissues.

Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the age and sex dependence of the bone mineral status of human lumbar vertebrae with special regard to differences between cortical and trabecular bone. Material and Methods: The study group comprised 125 normal Japanese healthy volunteers (54 males and 71 females), and was subdivided into adult male and female groups (subjects younger than 40 years), intermediate male and female groups (ages ranging between 41 and 64 years) and old male and female groups (subjects older than 65 years). The cortical bone mineral status was estimated using a single-energy quantitative CT (SE-QCT) technique, whereas trabecular bone mineral density (BMD) was estimated using a dual-energy (DE-QCT) technique. Results: A considerable gender difference in the age-related cortical bone status was found. There was a significant reduction of the mean values of the cortical volume and BMD in the old female group compared with those obtained in the old male group. Conclusion: The results suggest that in men, cortical and trabecular bone volume decrease very little with age. In women, cortical volume and BMD and trabecular BMD decrease with age while trabecular bone volume does not. The study showed that all variables had higher values in men than in women and that the difference increased with age.

There have been no reports of histologic differences in ulcerative colitis (UC) between Japanese and American patients. We therefore compared histology in proctocolectomy resection specimens between Japanese patients with UC (19 cases with and 21 without dysplasia) at the Kitasato University East Hospital and American patients with UC (21 cases with and 24 without dysplasia) at the University of Washington Medical Center. In cases of UC with, but not without dysplasia, cryptitis (p = 0.010) and epithelial apoptosis (p < 0.001) in the nondysplastic mucosa were more frequently observed in Japanese than in American cases, whereas lamina propria fibrosis was more prominent in American counterparts (p = 0.008). In patients with UC with dysplasia, the duration of disease was significantly longer in American than in Japanese patients (median, 17 vs 14 years, respectively; p = 0.038). This might, in part, explain the histologic variation. Another possibility for the differences is that the preoperative medications may have differed in the populations.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the initial treatment results and toxicities of radiation therapy for patients with early stage low-grade follicular lymphoma (FL) arising from the duodenum. We reviewed 21 consecutive patients with early stage duodenal FL treated with radiation therapy between January 2005 and December 2013 at the Cancer Institute Hospital, Tokyo. The characteristics of patients were: median age 62 years (range, 46-79 years), gender (male, 6; female, 15), clinical stage (I, 20; II1, 1), histological grade (I, 17; II, 4). All patients were treated with radiation therapy alone. The median radiation dose was 30.6 Gy (range, 30.6-39.6) in 17 fractions. The involved-site radiation therapy was delivered to the whole duodenum. The median follow-up time was 43.2 months (range 21.4-109.3). The 3-year overall survival (OS), relapse-free survival (RFS) and local control (LC) rates were 94.7%, 79.3% and 100%, respectively. There were four relapses documented outside the treated volumes: two in the gastrointestinal tract (jejunum, terminal ileum), one in an abdominal lymph node (mesenteric lymph node) and one in the bone marrow. None died of the disease; one death was due to acute myeloid leukemia. No toxicities greater than Grade 1 were observed during treatment and over the follow-up time. The 30.6 Gy of involved-site radiation therapy provided excellent local control with very low toxicities. Radiation therapy could be an effective and safe treatment option for patients with localized low grade FL arising from the duodenum.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Superficial Barrett's esophageal adenocarcinoma (s-BEA) in Barrett's esophagus frequently occurs in the right wall of the esophagus. Our aim was to examine the correlation between the location of s-BEA and the direction of acid and non-acid reflux in patients with Barrett's esophagus. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed 24-h pH monitoring in 33 s-BEA patients using a pH catheter with eight sensors. One sensor was located at the 6 o'clock position in the lower esophagus and sensors 1 - 8 were arranged counterclockwise at the same level. The catheter was positioned at the same level as the s-BEA. We measured the maximal total duration of acid (MTD-A) and non-acid (MTD-NA) reflux. When the direction of MTD-A and MTD-NA coincided with the location of the s-BEA, the case was defined as coincidental and we calculated the rate of coincidence, and the probability of the rate of coincidence was estimated with 95 % confidence intervals (95 %CI). RESULTS Among the 33 cases of s-BEA examined, the rate of coincidence of both MTD-A and MTD-NA was 24/33 (72.7 %) (95 %CI 0.54 - 0.87). The rate of coincidence of either MTD-A or MTD-NA was 30/33 (90.9 %) (95 %CI 0.76 - 0.98). CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed that the location of s-BEA mostly corresponds to the direction of MTD-A or MTD-NA. Accurate observation of the distribution of acid or non-acid reflux by pH monitoring would aid early detection of s-BEA by endoscopy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diagnostic endoscopy occasionally shows synchronous early gastric cancer (EGC) and esophageal cancer (EC) in the same patient. The treatment plan for these comorbid cancers is unclear because, as EGC is commonly treated surgically, information on post-chemotherapy outcomes for EGC are lacking, although chemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy are important in treating EC. Here, we evaluated whether unresected EGC could be safely observed while synchronous EC is treated with chemotherapy in patients with both cancers. METHODS We enrolled 30 patients with both EGC and EC who were treated with 5-FU plus cisplatin (FP) from January 2006 to September 2013, and who were evaluated with endoscopy before chemotherapy, and approximately every 3 months afterwards. RESULTS The response rate to FP for EGC was 46.8 %. Notably, five cases (16.7 %) had clinically complete responses with no progressive disease. Progression-free survival was 100 % at 6 months and 96.2 % at 1 year. In univariate analysis, FP was significantly more effective for mixed-type and undifferentiated adenocarcinoma than for differentiated adenocarcinoma. CONCLUSIONS FP was effective for EGC. EGC was stable without progression for more than 6 months while patients underwent FP treatment for EC. We consider observing EGC with no treatment during chemotherapy for EC to be appropriate disease management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM In the present study, we investigated the advantages of narrow-band imaging (NBI) for efficient diagnosis of sessile serrated adenoma/polyp (SSA/P). The main objective of this study was to analyze the characteristic features of cancer coexisting with serrated lesion by carrying out NBI. METHODS We evaluated 264 non-malignant serrated lesions by using three modalities (conventional white light colonoscopy, magnifying chromoendoscopy, and magnifying NBI). Of the evaluated cancer cases with serrated lesions, 37 fulfilled the inclusion criteria. RESULTS In diagnosing non-malignant SSA/P, an expanded crypt opening (ECO) under magnifying NBI is a useful sign. One hundred and twenty-five lesions (87%) of observed ECO were, at the same time, detected to have type II open pit pattern, which is known to be a valuable indicator when using magnifying chromoendoscopy. ECO had high sensitivity of 80% for identifying SSA/P, with 62% specificity and 83% positive predictive value (PPV). In detecting the cancer with SSA/P, irregular vessels under magnifying NBI were frequently observed with 100% sensitivity and 99% specificity, 86% PPV and 100% negative predictive value. CONCLUSIONS A focus on irregular vessels in serrated lesions might be useful for identification of cancer with SSA/P. This is an advantage of carrying out magnifying NBI in addition to being used simultaneously with other modalities by switching, and observations can be made by using wash-in water alone. We can carry out advanced examinations for selected lesions with irregular vessels. To confirm cancerous demarcation and invasion depth, a combination of all three aforementioned modalities should be done.
