Abstract
ObjectiveTo compare the similarities and differences between the esophageal mucosa lesion pathology before and after endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD).
MethodsA total of 110 patients diagnosed as having esophageal mucosal lesions by endoscopic biopsy were treated with ESD at Zhejiang cancer hospital from 2013 to 2014.The results of preoperative and postoperative pathology were compared.
ResultsThe consistency rate of preoperative biopsy and postoperative pathologic diagnosis was 61.8% (68/110). Compared with preoperative pathology, the postoperative pathological results underestimated accounted for 30% (33/110), the postoperative pathological results overestimated accounted for 8.2% (9/110). In early esophageal cancer group, consistency rate of preoperative biopsy and postoperative pathologic diagnosis was 75.0% (18/24), which was higher than that of intraepithelial neoplasia group[58.1% (50/86)]with significant difference(P<0.05).
ConclusionPreoperative biopsy is not necessarily consistent with postoperative pathology. Though preoperative pathological diagnosis has certain value, it can not completely represent the nature of the lesions. The patients with intraepithelial neoplasia should be actively treated with ESD combined with clinical experiences to get the accurate diagnosis.
