Background
/Aims: Endoscopic ultrasound fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is preferred for sampling of lymph nodes (LNs) adjacent to the gastrointestinal wall; however, fine-needle biopsy (FNB) may provide improved diagnostic outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the comparative efficacy and safety of FNA versus FNB for LN sampling.
Methods
This was a multicenter retrospective study of prospectively collected data to evaluate outcomes of EUS-FNA and EUS-FNB for LN sampling. Characteristics analyzed included sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, the number of needle passes, diagnostic adequacy of rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE), cell-block analysis, and adverse events.
Results
A total of 209 patients underwent EUS-guided LN sampling. The mean lesion size was 16.22±8.03 mm, with similar sensitivity and accuracy between FNA and FNB ([67.21% vs. 75.00%, respectively, p=0.216] and [78.80% vs. 83.17%, respectively, p=0.423]). The specificity of FNB was better than that of FNA (100.00% vs. 93.62%, p=0.01). The number of passes required for diagnosis was not different. Abdominal and peri-hepatic LN location demonstrated FNB to have a higher sensitivity (81.08% vs. 64.71%, p=0.031 and 80.95% vs. 58.33%, p=0.023) and accuracy (88.14% vs. 75.29%, p=0.053 and 88.89% vs. 70.49%, p=0.038), respectively. ROSE was a significant predictor for accuracy (odds ratio, 5.16; 95% confidence interval, 1.15–23.08; p=0.032). No adverse events were reported in either cohort.
Conclusions
Both EUS-FNA and EUS-FNB are safe for the diagnosis of LNs. EUS-FNB is preferred for abdominal LN sampling. EUSFNA+ ROSE was similar to EUS-FNB alone, showing better diagnosis for EUS-FNB than traditional FNA. While ROSE remained a significant predictor for accuracy, due to its poor availability in most centers, its use may be limited to cases with previous inconclusive diagnoses.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Background
/Aims: Lymph node metastasis is infrequently found in patients with early gastric cancer (EGC) following surgery. Accurate evaluation of lymph node status is very important in determining the appropriate treatment for patients with EGC. The efficacy of diagnostic and therapeutic laparoscopic lymph node dissection after endoscopic submucosal dissection in patients with EGC at high risk for lymph node metastasis was evaluated.
Methods
Among patients with EGC who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection between November 2006 and February 2009, 9 patients with undifferentiated adenocarcinoma, submucosal cancer, immunohistochemically-positive cytoplasmic staining for vascular endothelial growth factor, lymphovascular invasion, a high lymphatic microvessel density, or high microvessel density were selected. All patients underwent laparoscopic lymph node dissection for determination of lymph node status. The local IRB approved the study.
Results
All of the dissected lymph nodes were free of cancer cells in all of the patients. During 16 months of follow-up, no patients had evidence of tumor recurrence.
Conclusions
Laparoscopic lymph node dissection after endoscopic submucosal dissection is useful to assess lymph node status and may help guide further treatment for patients with EGC at high risk for lymph node metastasis. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2010;40:90-96)
