The Japanese Esophageal Society classification for prediction of superficial esophageal squamous cell neoplasia invasion depth: Validation in a Western population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Japan Esophageal Society proposed the JES microvessel classification to assess eligibility of early esophageal squamous cell neoplasia (ESCN) for endoscopic resection based on intrapapillary capillary loop assessment. We aimed to assess its diagnostic reproducibility and accuracy in Western ESCN patients.

Methods

Intrapapillary capillary loops on endoscopic images of Western ESCN lesions (n = 113) collected between 2010 and 2022 were assessed by nine endoscopists, including three Japanese expert endoscopists, three Western expert endoscopists, and three residents-in-training, and graded according to the JES microvessel classification where microvessel type A corresponds with normality or low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, and microvessel types B1, B2, and B3
