Abstract
The current virtual chromoendoscopy equipment cannot completely detect superficial squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the esophagus, despite its development in the recent years. Thus, in this study, we aimed to elucidate the appropriate air volume during endoscopic observation to improve the visibility of esophageal SCC. This retrospective study included a total of 101 flat type esophageal SCCs identified between April 2017 and January 2019 at the Department of Gastrointestinal Oncology, Osaka International Cancer Institute. Video images of narrow band imaging (NBI) under both less-air and standard-air conditions were recorded digitally. Videos were evaluated by five endoscopists. Relative visibility between less-air and standard-air conditions of the brownish area, brownish color change of the epithelium, and dilated intrapapillary capillary loop (IPCL) were graded as 5 (definitely better under less-air condition) to 1 (definitely worse under less-air condition), with 3 indicating average visibility (equivalent to standard-air observation). The mean (standard deviation) visibility score of the brownish area, brownish color change of the epithelium, and dilated IPCLs under less-air condition were 3.94 (0.58), 3.73 (0.57), and 4.1...Continue Reading
