Endoscopic ultrasound efficacy in staging gastric linitis plastica lesion: a retrospective multicentric French study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a key imaging technique in gastric cancer (GC). The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of EUS in the staging of parietal and lymph node involvement in linitis plastica (LP) compared to "classical" GC.

Methods

A retrospective multicentric French study was conducted on patients with no metastatic LP and operated by gastrectomy. A 2/1 matching based on pTNM stage and center was performed with GC.

Results

Forty-three patients were included, sixteen patients in the LP group and 27 in the control group. Sensitivity and specificity of EUS for diagnosis of T3-T4 parietal invasion were 77% and 100% respectively in the LP group and 89% and 56% respectively in the control group. Sensitivity and specificity of EUS for diagn
