Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: After endoscopic resection (ER) of early esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), the optimal management of patients with high-risk histological features for lymph node metastases (LNM) (i.e., submucosal invasion, poor differentiation grade, or lymphovascular invasion (LVI)), remains unclear. We aimed to evaluate outcomes of endoscopic follow-up after ER for high-risk EAC. METHODS: For this retrospective cohort study, data was collected from all Dutch patients managed with endoscopic follow-up (endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasound) after ER for high-risk EAC between 2008 and 2019. We distinguished 3 groups: intramucosal cancers with high-risk features, submucosal cancers with low-risk features, and submucosal cancers with high-risk features. Primary outcome was the annual risk for metastases during follow-up, stratified for baseline histology. RESULTS: A total of 120 patients met the selection criteria. Median FU was 29 months (IQR 15-48). Metastases were observed in 5/25 (annual risk 6.9%; 95% CI 3.0-15), 1/55 (annual risk 0.7%; 95% CI 0-4.0) and 3/40 (annual risk 3.0%; 95% CI 0-7.0) in high-risk intramucosal, low-risk submucosal, and high-risk submucosal cancers, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Whereas the annual metastasis rate for high-risk submucosal EAC (3.0%) was somewhat lower than expected in comparison with previous reported percentages, the annual metastasis rate of 6.9% for high-risk intramucosal EAC is new and worrisome. This calls for further prospective studies and suggests that strict follow-up of this small subgroup is warranted until prospective data are available.
