Necessity Assessment of ME-NBI Targeted Biopsy Compared With EFB

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The aim of the present study was to assess whether it was necessary to conduct magnifying endoscopy with narrow band imaging (ME-NBI) targeted biopsy compared with endoscopic forceps biopsy (EFB) from white light endoscopy in diagnosing early gastric cancer (EGC). Meanwhile, the investigators proposed the most cost-effective way to diagnose EGC.

Detailed Description
-----------------
ME-NBI has been widely used for the diagnosis of stomach diseases, especially in the early diagnosis of gastric cancer. The aim of the present study was to evaluate diagnostic efficacy of ME-NBI targeted biopsy and ME-NBI combined with targeted biopsy compared with EFB from white light endoscopy and ME-NBI combined with EFB. A prospective study was conducted encompassing suspected EGC. All patients were performed white light endoscopic examination with EFB and then ME-NBI with ME-NBI targeted biopsy. Outcome measures were assessed and compared, including diagnostic efficacy of EFB from white light endoscopy,ME-NBI combined with EFB, ME-NBI targeted biopsy and ME-NBI combined with targeted biopsy.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: Suspected EGC group<br>Participants with suspected EGC from white light endoscopy were enrolled.The endoscopist first used white light endoscopy to identify suspected gastric lesions and assessed lesions carefully with magnifying view, non-magnifying NBI view and ME-NBI view in sequence. After assessing suspected EGC in ME-NBI view, ME-NBI targeted biopsy was performed where abnormal phenomenon was identified in ME-NBI view. | Device: ME-NBI observation and ME-NBI targeted biopsy<br>* The endoscopist assessed lesions which were suspected EGC carefully with ME-NBI. After assessing suspected EGC in ME-NBI view, ME-NBI targeted biopsy was performed where abnormal phenomenon was identified in ME-NBI view.<br>|

Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Accuracy in distinguishing high-grade neoplasia (HGN) from non-HGN | EFB and ME-NBI targeted biopsy and final resected specimens were assessed according to the Vienna classification. Suspected lesions were assessed in ME-NBI view according to the diagnostic classification proposed by Yao and Ezoe et al. However, little different from their classification, lesions were classified into positive HGN phenomenon, indefinite and suspected HGN, negative HGN phenomenon. After that, ME-NBI targeted biopsy was performed where abnormal or suspected phenomenon was observed. Compared with final pathology of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) or surgery specimens, sensitivity of EFB, ME-NBI, ME-NBI targeted biopsy, ME-NBI combined EFB and ME-NBI combined targeted biopsy was calculated. Accuracy of EFB and ME-NBI targeted biopsy was compared using McNemar test. The same method was used to compare ME-NBI combined EFB and ME-NBI combined targeted biopsy. | 30 months | 
| Sensitivity in distinguishing HGN from non-HGN | EFB and ME-NBI targeted biopsy and final resected specimens were assessed according to the Vienna classification. Suspected lesions were assessed in ME-NBI view according to the diagnostic classification proposed by Yao and Ezoe et al. However, little different from their classification, lesions were classified into positive HGN phenomenon, indefinite and suspected HGN, negative HGN phenomenon. The former classification was diagnosed as HGN. The latter two classification was diagnosed as HGN. After that, ME-NBI targeted biopsy was performed where abnormal or suspected phenomenon was observed. Compared with final pathology of ESD or surgery specimens, sensitivity of EFB, ME-NBI, ME-NBI targeted biopsy, ME-NBI combined EFB and ME-NBI combined targeted biopsy was calculated. Sensitivity of EFB and ME-NBI targeted biopsy was compared using McNemar test. The same method was used to compare ME-NBI combined EFB and ME-NBI combined targeted biopsy. | 30 months | 
| Specificity in distinguishing HGN from non-HGN | EFB and ME-NBI targeted biopsy and final resected specimens were assessed according to the Vienna classification. Suspected lesions were assessed in ME-NBI view according to the diagnostic classification proposed by Yao and Ezoe et al. However, little different from their classification, lesions were classified into positive HGN phenomenon, indefinite and suspected HGN, negative HGN phenomenon. The former classification was diagnosed as HGN. The latter two classification was diagnosed as HGN. After that, ME-NBI targeted biopsy was performed where abnormal or suspected phenomenon was observed. Compared with final pathology of ESD or surgery specimens, specificity of EFB, ME-NBI, ME-NBI targeted biopsy, ME-NBI combined EFB and ME-NBI combined targeted biopsy was calculated. Specificity of EFB and ME-NBI targeted biopsy was compared using McNemar test. The same method was used to compare ME-NBI combined EFB and ME-NBI combined targeted biopsy. | 30 months |
