Endoscopic ultrasound classification for prediction of endoscopic submucosal dissection resectability: PREDICT classification.

ABSTRACT: Background and study aims The safety of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been reported, and the risk of lymph node metastasis is low for colorectal cancer if depth of invasion is the only non-curative factor on histological evaluation. ESD is increasingly performed even if submucosal (SM) invasion is suspected. However, reports about endoscopic findings for the criteria to predict ESD resectability remain limited. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) can directly visualize the tomographic image of the gastrointestinal wall and may help predict ESD resectability. Therefore, we investigated the possibility of predicting ESD resectability using EUS. Patients and methods We compared the association between EUS findings and pathological results for gastric or colorectal lesions w
