Risk of metachronous gastric neoplasm occurrence during intermediate-term follow-up period after endoscopic submucosal dissection for gastric dysplasia.

ABSTRACT: After endoscopic resection (ER) of gastric dysplasia, metachronous gastric neoplasm (MGN) appears to have an incidence rate similar to that detected after ER of early gastric cancer (EGC). We investigated whether the risk of MGN after ER for gastric dysplasia is different between patients with low-grade dysplasia (LGD) and high-grade dysplasia (HGD). Between March 2011 and December 2016, 198 patients with LGD (LGD group) and 46 patients with HGD (HGD group) who underwent ER were included in the study. During a median follow-up of 2.5 years, MGNs developed in 21 patients (10.6%) in the LGD group and in 6 patients (13.0%) in the HGD group. Hazard ratios (HRs) for MGNs (HR, 1.45; P = 0.425) and for metachronous HGD or gastric cancer (HR, 2.41; P = 0.214) in the HGD group were not different th
