Abstract
Background and Aims: Lynch syndrome (LS) predisposes patients to multiple cancers including of the gastric and small bowel. Data supporting EGD surveillance in LS are limited. Our aim is to describe upper GI (UGI) findings in asymptomatic LS patients undergoing EGD surveillance within a hereditary colorectal cancer registry.
Methods: Asymptomatic patients with LS who underwent >= 1 surveillance EGD were included. Demographics, genotype, and EGD findings were reviewed. The frequency of clinically actionable findings including neoplasia (cancer, adenomas), Barrett's esophagus (BE), Helicobacter pylori, and hyperplastic polyps >5 mm were assessed.
Results: Three hundred twenty-three patients underwent 717 EGDs starting at a median age of 49.5 years. On average, each patient had 2 EGDs with an interval of 2.3 years between examinations. Clinically actionable findings were identified in 57 patients (17.6%). On baseline EGD 27.7% of findings were identified, with the remainder on surveillance EGD over an average of 3.5 years. Five asymptomatic patients (1.5%) had an UGI cancer detected during surveillance, all at early stage, including 1 patient each with BE-related esophageal adenocarcinoma, gastric neuroendocrine tumor, and gastric adenocarcinoma and 2 patients with duodenal adenocarcinoma. Two cancers were found on baseline EGD and 3 on follow-up EGD.
Conclusions: Clinically actionable findings were found in approximately 1 in 6 asymptomatic patients with LS undergoing EGD surveillance. Five patients (1.5%) were diagnosed with cancer, all detected at an early stage. These data suggest that both baseline and follow-up EGD surveillance are effective in detecting early-stage UGI cancers in asymptomatic patients with LS.
