Recurrent Oesophageal Squamous Dysplasia after Radiotherapy.
The video explores a case of chronic esophagus inflammation with stenosis, resulting from previous radiotherapy for squamous cell carcinoma. The patient undergoes surveillance, leading to the detection of high-grade squamous dysplasia through biopsies. The video further delves into the complexities of the procedure, including marking, resection, and confirmation with Lugol's iodine. The potential role of AI in future cancer detection is also highlighted.

In brief

In this video, an examination of the esophagus, showing chronic inflammation and relative stenosis post-radiotherapy for squamous cell carcinoma, is demonstrated. At 33 cm from the incisors, the esophagus exhibits high-grade squamous dysplasia confirmed by biopsy. The procedure involves the use of virtual chromoendoscopy with Olympus 1500 platform and bright NBI to discern the extent of abnormality and mark the lesion for resection. Challenges in demarcating due to the extensive nature of the lesion are discussed. The application of Lugol's iodine after marking enhances the visualization of squamous dysplasia. Caution is advised during the marking to avoid inaccurate assessment which might complicate resection. Emphasis is placed on ensuring adequate insufflation and using dual-focus endoscopes for clear visualization of the margins. The importance of consideration for potential stenosis, especially in patients with a history of radiotherapy, is underscored. The role of AI in improving dysplasia detection and aiding in decision making is touched upon. Finally, particular techniques for marking are demonstrated, including the use of the tip of a knife and potential adjustments based on virtual chromoendoscopy outcomes.
