Impact of upper gastrointestinal endoscopic ultrasound in children

The impact and feasibility of upper gastrointestinal endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in younger children are unknown. We retrospectively reviewed the EUS procedures we had performed in children younger than 16 years with regard to feasibility, safety, and impact on further treatment. In all, 18 patients (12 boys, 6 girls; median age 12 years, range 0.5–15) underwent EUS. The indications were as follows: tumor (9), epigastric pain (3), recurrent pancreatitis (2), unexplained jaundice (2), hypoglycemia (1), and von Hippel-Lindau disease (1). We concluded that EUS had a significant impact in 78% of the cases. EUS seems to be a safe, feasible, and valuable diagnostic tool.

Personalized Clinical Decision Making in Gastrointestinal Malignancies: The Role of PET

Søren Hess; Ole Steen Bjerring; Per Pfeiffer; Poul Flemming Høilund-Carlsen

Gastrointestinal malignancies comprise a heterogeneous group of diseases that include both common and rare diseases with very different presentations and prognoses. The mainstay of treatment is surgery in combination with preoperative and adjuvant chemotherapy depending on clinical presentation and initial stages. This article outlines the potential use of fluorodeoxyglucose-PET/CT in clinical decision making with special regard to preoperative evaluation and response assessment in gastric cancer (including the gastroesophageal junction), pancreatic cancer (excluding neuroendocrine tumors), colorectal cancer, and gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

BACKGROUND Modern cancer diagnostic work-up is based on multiple modalities within a short time period. The interplay between these modalities is complex and not well known. Performing biopsy procedures prior to (18)F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is considered to pose a risk of false-positive imaging results; however, this is not based on solid scientific evidence. The use of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is commonly used in upper gastrointestinal malignancies, is proven safe, and has very little risk of complications. This study aimed to assess whether EUS-FNA induces inflammation that would increase FDG uptake on subsequent PET/CT. METHODS 27 patients who were referred for upper gastrointestinal EUS for different reasons initially underwent FDG-PET/CT to detect biopsy-eligible lymph nodes with no FDG uptake. Patients then underwent EUS-FNA of the benign lymph nodes, with a minimum of three passes. Patients were re-evaluated with FDG-PET/CT 1 week later, with specific emphasis on the biopsied lymph nodes. RESULTS None of the biopsied lymph nodes showed increased FDG uptake on follow-up FDG-PET/CT. No adverse events occurred. CONCLUSION EUS-FNA prior to FDG-PET/CT did not lead to false-positive FDG uptake. The interpretive impact of minor procedures prior to FDG-PET/CT needs to be re-evaluated.
