Background/Aims:
This study was designed to determine the effect of supplementary argon plasma coagulation (APC) after piecemeal resection of a gastric adenoma or an intramucosal adenocarcinoma.
Methods:
Cases of 62 lesions of 56 consecutive patients with either a gastric adenoma or carcinoma were retrospectively reviewed at the Ajou University Medical Center. APC was performed after an endoscopic complete resection using the piecemeal method of endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for patients in the EMR-APC group. For patients in the EMR group, APC was not performed.
Results:
There was no significant difference in the recurrence rate of the cancers for both groups (9.7%, for the EMR group, 6.5% for the EMR-APC group). The recurrence rate of a low grade dysplasia was 6.7% (EMR group) and 6.3% (EMR-APC group) (p=1.000), the recurrence rate for a high grade dysplasia was 11.1% (EMR group) and 25.0% (EMR-APC group) (p=1.000), and the recurrence rate for an intramucosal adenocarcinoma was 14.3% (EMR group) and 0% (EMR-APC group) (p=0.389). The recurrence rates of lesions in which the lesion size was less than 20 mm and over 20 mm for each group were 6.7% and 9.1% (EMR group) (p=1.000) versus 12.5% and 0% (EMR-APC group) (p=0.520). There was also no significant statistical difference in the recurrence rates for both groups according to the location and macroscopic type of lesion.
Conclusions:
Supplementary treatment with APC could not significantly reduce the recurrence rate after complete piecemeal resection determined macroscopically. A large- scale and prospective study is necessary to elucidate the clinical significance of supplementary APC for gastric neoplasm treatment. |
