Differences in routine esophagogastroduodenoscopy between Japanese and international facilities: A questionnaire survey

Abstract: Background and Aim: The mortality rate of gastric cancer (GC) is close to the incidence rate worldwide. However, in Korea and Japan, the mortality rate of GC is less than half of the incidence rate. We hypothesized that good-quality routine esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) contributes to a high detection rate for early GC (EGC) and improves mortality in these countries. Methods:To clarify the differences in routine EGD, a questionnaire survey was conducted in 98 Japanese and 53 international institutions.Resul… Show more

“…7 Although the effectiveness of magnifying endoscopes for EGD can be predicted, the actual diagnostic performance is still not clarified. GIF-H260Z is thicker than other nonmagnifying endoscopes, and therefore is not suitable for routine EGD.…”

“…The number of images recorded during an EGD is not standardized and in most facilities worldwide only a relatively small number of endoscopic images are stored for each examination. Although some Japanese referral centers recommend at least 40 non‐alphanumeric stomach images, the ESGE has recently increased from eight to a 10‐image study . The above proposals, however, are quite different to a total upper tract mucosal photodocumentation and cannot be considered indicators of completeness.…”

“…High‐quality photodocumentation of the entire mucosal lining would not be possible without a cleansing protocol similar to bowel preparation before colonoscopy. Although the use of mucosal preparation for increasing early cancer detection is still unproven, this practice is considered safe even in sedated patients and results in better visualization; hence, increasing the likelihood of detecting lesions . In Japan, a mixture of 20 000 U mucolytic agent Pronase (Kaken Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd, Tokyo, Japan), 80 mg anti‐foaming agent dimethylpolysiloxane (Kissei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd, Matsumoto, Japan) and 1 g Na+ bicarbonate diluted in 50 mL water have been used prior to the exam with demonstrated effectiveness .…”
