Abstract:

Background and Aims

Laterally spreading tumor (LST) is a colorectal pre-cancerous lesion. Previous studies have demonstrated distinct LST clinicopathological characteristics in different populations. This study evaluated clinicopathological characteristics of LST in a Chinese population.

Methods

A total of 259 Chinese LST patients with 289 lesions were recruited for endoscopic and clinicopathological analyses.

Results

Among these 289 lesions, 185 were granular type (LST-G), whereas 104 were non-granular type (LST-NG). LST-G lesions were further classified into homogeneous G-type and nodular mixed G-type, while LST-NG lesions were further classified into flat elevated NG-type and pseudo-depressed NG-type. Clinically, these four LST subtypes showed distinct clinicopathological characteristics, e.g., lesion size, location, or histopathological features (high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia and submucosal carcinoma). The nodular mixed G-type showed larger tumor size and higher incidence of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia compared to the other three subtypes, while pseudo-depressed NG-type lesions showed the highest incidence of submucosal carcinoma. Noticeably, no diffidence was detected between the lesions of homogeneous G-type and flat elevated NG-type with regard to the histopathological features. Histology of the malignancy potential was associated with nodular mixed G-type OR = 2.41, 95% CI (1.09–5.29); P = 0.029], flat elevated NG-type OR = 3.49, 95% CI (1.41–8.22); P = 0.007], Diameter ≥30 mm OR = 2.56, 95% CI (1.20–5.20); P = 0.009], Villous adenoma OR = 2.76, 95% CI (1.01–7.58); P = 0.048] and serrated adenoma OR = 6.99, 95% CI (1.81–26.98); P = 0.005].

Conclusion

Chinese LSTs can be divided into four different subtypes, which show distinct clinicopathological characteristics. Morphology, size and pathological characteristics are all independent predictors of advanced histology.
