Endoscopic Ultrasound:

Applications in Pre-malignant and Malignant Disease December 20 th , 2010 Andrew T. Pellecchia, MD Director of Advanced Endoscopy Jacobi Medical Center

EUS  Originally utilized to ‘clear’ the bile duct pre cholecystectomy in patients with suspected CBD stones  Less invasive alternative to ERCP 

Risks similar to standard EGD

 EUS still used for this indication  Less than 20% of EUS procedures are performed for this indication in established advanced endoscopy center

Evolution of EUS  EUS as an imaging study 

EUS as a means of fluid and tissue acquisition

Cancer staging

Cyst analysis

EUS as an interventional/therapeutic modality

Neurolysis

Transmural cyst drainage

Direct access to biliary system

Overview  Several illustrative EUS cases from JMC  Basic EUS principles  What is ‘within reach’ of EUS +/- FNA?

 Brief overview of selected diseases

Patient GR  62 y.o. woman with significant weight loss over the past 6 months  CT a/p shows a 6 cm intra-abdominal mass  EGD/EUS/FNA planned to further evaluate lesion

Endosonographic Evaluation  EGD showed normal gastric mucosa with evidence of mild external compression vs. submucosal lesion in the area of the gastric incisura  EUS  Clear demarcation of hypoechoic mass adjacent to left lobe of the liver  FNA was performed

GR-GIST H&E

GR-GIST C-KIT (CD117)

Patient DD  62 y.o. man with history of alcoholism and recurrent pancreatitis since the 1970’s, admitted to an outside hospital with jaundice  MRI showed a large pancreatic head mass  ERCP for biliary drainage – failed  Complicated by pancreatic tail pseudocyst formation  PTC with internalization - successful  Patient left AMA and came to JMC 

EUS/FNA performed to obtain diagnosis

Endosonographic Evaluation  EUS  Large ~30mm hypoechoic pancreatic head mass surrounding the intrapancreatic CBD with PTC drain seen within CBD  Dilated PD to 5mm with evidence of chronic pancreatitis  FNA performed

Patient CE  69 y.o. man with h/o non-small cell lung cancer s/p LUL resection in 2006 who is referred after a chest CT showed new mediastinal lymphadenopathy  EUS/FNA scheduled to evaluate for recurrent disease

Endosonographic Evaluation  EUS  Suspicious lymph nodes in the aortopulmonary window, sized 6-11mm  Suspicious lymph nodes in the subcarinal space, sized 6-12mm  FNA performed

Radial Ultrasonography

  Oblique-viewing instruments with an ultrasound transducer located at the tip The circumferential ultrasound image is perpendicular to the long axis of the endoscope

Linear Ultrasonography

 Ultrasound image parallel to the long axis of the endoscope  Capable of performing real time, ultrasound directed needle aspiration biopsy  Color Doppler analysis

Working End of Linear Echoendoscope

The Scope of the  Echoendoscope What can be assessed by EUS with potential FNA?

 Any structure within several cm of U/L GI tract  Ability to see structures measuring

1 mm

 Ability to perform FNA upon structures measuring

3mm

 Limitations  Cannot visualize beyond air-filled structures  Cannot biopsy through air-filled structures, blood vessels, or the heart  Lung that is non-adjacent to esophagus, trachea, aorta, pulmonary artery, r/l atria

Risks of EUS FNA  Pancreatitis  < 1:100  Significant bleeding  < 1:500  Perforation  < 1:1000  Infection - rare  Antibiotics for transrectal FNA or FNA of cysts  Inadequate tissue 

1:10

to 1:5  Can be related to pathology of lesion  Cholangio, GIST

EUS in Pre-Malignant Disease 

Pancreatic Cysts

 PD fluid analysis  Pancreatic screening in high risk populations  Chronic pancreatitis  Family history of pancreatic cancer  Cancer syndromes  Submucosal lesions  Pancreatic rests

Pancreatic Cystic Fluid Analysis  Incidental pancreatic cysts seen in up to 20% of abdominal CT’s performed for any reason  Cystic lesions of the pancreas, even when found incidentally, may represent

malignant

or

pre-malignant

lesions 

The majority of pancreatic cysts require evaluation by EUS/FNA

 FNA measurement of CEA, amylase, genetic markers  Relatively sensitive and specific for differentiating mucinous cysts (IPMN, MCA) from non-mucinous cysts (SCA, Pseudocyst)

HOP Serous Cystadenoma

BOP Serous Cystadenoma

Oncology Consult?

(FNA benign: Island of normal pancreatic tissue within serous cystadenoma)

Patient PS  Media reports state that the actor was diagnosed with an IPMN  IPMN is a

pre-cancerous

lesion  Conclusion: the IPMN had already progressed to adenocarcinoma prior to diagnosis/resection  Resected IPMNs often have foci of adenocarcinoma  Lesson: ALL pancreatic cysts need to be referred for risk stratification

EUS in Malignant Disease  Non-small cell lung cancer  Pancreatic cancer  Esophageal and gastric cancer  Cholangiocarcinoma  Rectal adenocarcinoma  Metastatic disease  Lymph nodes: aortopulmonary, subcarinal, para esophageal, celiac, intra-abdominal  Left lobe of liver  Left adrenal 

And beyond

– right lobe of liver, right adrenal, ...

EUS and Lung Cancer  “We really do not need additional proof before EUS-FNA is considered the gold standard for invasive staging of non-small cell lung cancer and for diagnosis of posterior mediastinal lesions; there is little to lose and much to gain.”  -P. Vilmann and S.S. Larsen, Eur Respir J

Key Points  All patients with pancreatic cysts should have consultation for possible EUS/FNA  EUS/FNA is the standard of care in the loco-regional staging of many cancers  Lung  Esophageal  Gastric  Pancreatic  Cholangiocarcinoma  Rectal adenocarcinoma

Key Points, Continued  EUS is minimally invasive  Reduces need for mediastinoscopy, surgical biopsy, bronchoscopy, CT guided biopsy  Reduces morbidity/mortality while reducing health care costs  Appropriate cancer staging  Prevents unnecessary surgical resections  Identifies patients who will benefit from pre-op chemo/xrt

Cutting Edge EUS Applications  Role for EUS is expanding  EUS placement of fiducials for radiation therapy  EUS rendezvous procedure for accessing CBD  EUS directed brachytherapy  EUS guided hepaticogastrostomy for malignant CBD obstruction
