简要总结
Esophageal cancer is a deadly disease that is becoming increasingly common in the United States. Barrett's esophagus (BE) is a pre-cancerous state that can develop into esophageal cancer, but is highly treatable. Progression of BE to esophageal cancer is still common due to missed diagnosis of Barrett's esophagus recurrence following treatment. Wide-Area Trans-Epithelial Sampling (WATS-3D) is a new technology that uses brush sampling to examine larger areas of the esophagus as compared to conventional biopsies. Preliminary studies show improved detection of cancerous changes in Barrett's esophagus surveillance. The investigators hope to see if the addition of WATS-3D increases the rate of detection of recurrent BE following treatment, which is of the utmost importance since it would allow for earlier re-treatment of disease and ultimately allow for prevention of progression to esophageal cancer.
详细描述
Barrett's esophagus (BE) affects 5-15% of all patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease and approximately 1-2% of the entire population. The stepwise progression of BE from intestinal metaplasia (IM) to dysplasia can ultimately lead to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). There are over 15,000 cases of EAC diagnosed in the United States each year. Regardless of stage of disease at time of diagnosis, the 5-year survival for EAC is an abysmal 19%. Endoscopic eradication therapy (EET) has been shown to be very effective in preventing progression of dysplastic BE to EAC with rates of complete eradication of intestinal metaplasia (CE-IM) > 90%. This is of paramount importance given the poor outcomes associated with the development of EAC.
Despite high success rates in achieving CE-IM, recent studies show that the recurrence of IM following CE-IM occurs with annual incidence of 8-10% and a 2-3% dysplasia rate per patient year of follow-up. The current paradigm of endoscopic surveillance following CE-IM focuses on random biopsies, which has raised concerns about sampling error and missed recurrence of IM and dysplasia leading to increased risk of interval development of EAC. New technologies, such as Wide-Area Trans-Epithelial Sampling (WATS-3D; CDx Diagnostics, Suffern, NY) have been studied to improve detection of dysplasia in BE. WATS-3D involves abrasive brush sampling of the esophagus that is then processed by a validated computer imaging system and subsequently reviewed by pathologist. Prior studies have shown increased dysplasia detection in routine BE surveillance with WATS-3D over standard biopsies, however there are no published data as to the additive value of WATS-3D for detection of recurrence of disease after endoscopic therapy.
Problem Statement:
Despite high success rates of successful eradication of BE with EET, recurrence rates are still high. Current Seattle Protocol biopsies for Post-EET surveillance is time-consuming, difficult to reproduce, and often misses IM recurrence putting patients at increased risk of developing EAC.

结局指标
主要结局
To assess the additive diagnostic yield as assessed by proportion of patients with recurrence be use of WATS-3D
时间窗: 2 years
To assess the additive diagnostic yield of WATS-3D sampling beyond that of standard biopsies for detection of IM or dysplasia (recurrence) in patients who have undergone EET for BE-related neoplasia. The rates of recurrence as determined by the proportion of patients (percentage) deemed to have recurrence of BE on tissue sampling will be compared between samples obtained by WATS-3D vs forceps biopsies.
次要结局
- To assess if there is a difference in diagnostic yield of WATS-3D based on CE-IM definition between one and two or more endoscopies(3 years)
- To assess if the order by which tissue is sampled affects the diagnostic yield of WATS-3D by comparing the proportion of patients with recurrence between groups.(3 years)
