Objectives

Narrative objectives1

n the endoscopic treatment of pharyngo-laryngeal and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, iodine staining is commonly used to determine the extent of the lesion. While iodine staining enables clear visualization of lesion boundaries, it is associated with significant patient burden, as approximately half of the patients experience symptoms such as sore throat, chest pain, or discomfort after the procedure.

Recently, there have been rapid advancements in equipment-based image-enhanced endoscopy (IEE) technologies, including digital methods that process optical information obtained under white light and optical digital methods that enhance images using light other than white light. Among these, narrow-band imaging (NBI) is a notable technique that uses narrow-band light to emphasize the capillary structures and microvascular patterns on the mucosal surface. This method allows for the detection of superficial pharyngo-laryngeal and esophageal cancers that are difficult to identify with conventional endoscopy.

Since NBI does not require the use of staining agents, the patient burden is comparable to that of standard endoscopic observation. Therefore, we conducted a single-center prospective study to compare the diagnostic utility of NBI and iodine staining in determining the extent of pharyngo-laryngeal and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

During endoscopic treatment of pharyngo-laryngeal and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, lesion boundaries are first marked based on NBI observation. Iodine staining is then performed, and if the lesion boundaries observed after iodine staining differ from those marked during NBI observation, the boundaries are re-marked based on the iodine-stained observation. Following marking, the lesion is endoscopically resected, ensuring that the resection includes the outermost marking points.

(Under standard endoscopic treatment protocols, the process involves: 1) determining the lesion extent using NBI observation, 2) determining the lesion extent after iodine staining, and 3) marking the lesion boundaries. Although this study differs from standard procedures in terms of the sequence of steps, no new therapeutic interventions are introduced. If the lesion boundaries observed with NBI and iodine staining are identical, additional marking after iodine staining is not performed.)

Post-resection, the specimen is stretched and mounted on a Styrofoam board, photographed, and the lesion extent is pathologically evaluated based on the photograph. The accuracy of the markings, determined using either NBI or iodine staining, in indicating the true lesion extent is then assessed.
