[Therapeutic effect of endoscopic submucosal dissection on the treatment of early gastric cancer].

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the long-term therapeutic effect of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) on the treatment of early gastric cancer (EGC). Methods: We retrospectively reviewed EGC patients who underwent ESD at Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS), from January 2009 to December 2016. The incidence rates of local recurrence, synchronous cancer and heterogeneous cancer were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze 5-years recurrence free survival (RFS) and 5-years disease special survival (DSS) of all patients. Results: A total of 255 EGC patients were enrolled in this study, included 175 differentiated early gastric cancer (D-EGC) patients and 80 undifferentiated early gastric cancer (UD-EGC) patients. Among them, 171 patients within the extended indication of ESD while 84 patients beyond the extended indication of ESD. Among the 225 patients, the incidence rates of local recurrence, synchronous cancer and heterogeneous cancer were 2.0%, 2.0% and 2.4%, respectively. The local recurrence rates of D-EGC group and UD-EGC group was 1.7% and 2.5%, respectively, without significant difference (χ(2)=0.176, P=0.675). The incidence rates of synchronous and heterogenous cancer in the D-EGC group were 2.3% and 3.4%, higher than 1.2% and 0 of UD-EGC group, although there was no significant difference (χ(2)=0.306, P=0.580 vs χ(2)=2.809, P=0.094). There were no significant differences in 5-years RFS (91.3% vs 95.9%, P=0.236) and 5-years DSS (100% vs 98.6%, P=0.156) between D-EGC group and UD-EGC group. Conclusions: The long-term outcome of ESD in the treatment of EGS is good. More attention should be paid to the occurrence of local recurrence and heterogeneous cancer in EGC patients undergo ESD. These patients still have a good long-tern outcome even undergoing ESD for more than once.
