1 Endoscopic monitoring of IBD patients for healing and dysplasia in 2018 Marietta Iacucci, MD, PhD, FASGE Senior Associate Professor(Reader) University of Birmingham, UK Adjunct Associate Professor of Medicine University of Calgary, Canada

2 Advanced therapeutic endoscopy in IBD: A dawn of new era Mucosal Healing How deep is deep enough? Does it really help using the Optical diagnosis to assess and monitoring Inflammation and Mucosal Healing in UC? Dye Chromoendoscopy colonoscopy is the best endoscopic real time practice to detect colonic dysplastic lesions? Is it really true?

3 Advanced therapeutic endoscopy in the colon: A dawn of new era Do we need to characterize these colonic lesions? and How do we do it? Are they endoscopically resectable? When should I perform EMR and when ESD, when Colectomy? NEW ENDOSCOPES AT HORIZON!!!

4 How can we see more at endoscopy? Standard white light endoscopy Zoom endoscopy Dye spraying endoscopy High definition endoscopy (like HD TV) Electronic virtual chromoendoscopy Confocal laser endomicroscopy Endocyto scope

15 Current practice position 4.3 Patients in deep [clinical, biological, and endoscopic] remission probably have a lower risk of relapse after anti-tnf discontinuation. Therefore, anti-tnf withdrawal should probably be considered only in patients in longstanding stable clinical, biological, and endoscopic remission Current practice position 4.7 A state of deep remission [clinical, biological, and endoscopic remission] probably decreases the risk of relapse after dose de-escalation Journal of Crohn's and Colitis, 2018, 17 31

36 SURVEILLANCE IBD

37 The multistep endoscopy approach Detection Characterisation Treatment Follow-up

38 How do we detect the colonic lesions? Detection Characterization Treatment Follow-up

39 How do we detect the lesion? Statement 2: When performing surveillance with standard-definition colonoscopy, chromoendoscopy is recommended rather than white-light colonoscopy. (85% agreement; strong recommendation; moderatequality evidence) Statement 3: When performing surveillance with high-definition colonoscopy, chromoendoscopy is suggested rather than white-light colonoscopy. (84% agreement; conditional recommendation; lowquality evidence) SCENIC, Laine et al. Gastroenterology 2015; 148:

40 How do we do surveillance? ECCO statement 8H Colonoscopy surveillance is best performed when ulcerative colitis is in remission, because it is otherwise difficult to discriminate between dysplasia and inflammation on mucosal biopsies ECCO statement 8I Surveillance colonoscopy should take into account local expertise. Chromoendoscopy with targeted biopsies has been shown to increase dysplasia detection rate [EL2]. Alternatively, random biopsies (quadrantic biopsies every 10 cm) and targeted biopsies of any visible lesion should be performed if white light endoscopy is used [EL3]. High-definition endoscopy should be used if available ECCO guidelines Magro et al. J Crohns Colitis 2017; 11:

41 How do we do surveillance? Have optimal bowel preparation- the entire bowel mucosa should be without mucus, pus or stool. Surveillance colonoscopy should be performed in patients with minimal or no inflammation. Withdrawal time and antispasmodic agents have been clearly shown to be associated with improved adenoma detection in non-colitis patients (likely the same in IBD surveillance). Ghosh S, Iacucci M. Can J Gastroenterol. 2013; 29:236. Iacucci M et. al. Inflamm Bowel Dis. 2013; 19:

42 How do we do surveillance? Dye Chromoendoscopy (DCE) is gold standard for the surveillance. Both indigo carmine and methylene blue could be used SCENIC, Laine et al. Gastroenterology 2015; 148:

43 How do we do Dye Chromoendoscopy? Dye Chromoendoscopy Increase detection rate of intraepithelial neoplasia in IBD Characterize better the morphology and delineate margin of lesion

44 How do we do surveillance? Statement 4: When performing surveillance with standard-definition colonoscopy, narrow-band imaging (NBI) is not suggested in place of white-light colonoscopy. (84% agreement; conditional recommendation; lowquality evidence) Statement 5: When performing surveillance with high-definition colonoscopy, narrow-band imaging is not suggested in place of white-light colonoscopy. (80% agreement; conditional recommendation; moderate-quality evidence) SCENIC, Laine et al. Gastroenterology 2015; 148:

45 How do we do surveillance? NBI and CE do not differ significantly for detection of colitis associated dysplasia Given the shorter procedural time and easier applicability, NBI may replace CE in the future for surveillance of long-standing UC. Bisschops R, et al. Gut 2017;

46 How do we do surveillance? In this randomized trial VCE or HD-WLE is not inferior to dye spraying colonoscopy for detection of colonic neoplastic lesions during surveillance colonoscopy. HD-WLE alone was sufficient for detection of dysplasia, adenocarcinoma or all neoplastic lesions. Iacucci M et al Amer J Gastroenterol 2018; 113:

47 How do we characterise the colonic lesions? Detection Characterization Treatment Follow-up

48 How do we characterise the colonic lesions? Paris classification Kudo Pit pattern Characterization Margins Localization SCENIC, Laine et al. Gastroenterology 2015; 148:

51 How do we characterise the colonic lesions? Problems with Kudo Pit Pattern: Inflammatory activity may mimic neoplasia Regenerative hyplerplastic villous mucosa is difficult to distinguish from neoplastic pit patterns Serrated sessile adenomas (SSA) often have regular pit pattern-similar appearances as HP Iacucci M et al. Can J Gastroenterol 2014; 28: Sonwalkar S et al. Endoscopy 2006; 38:

53 DCE NBI NBI Paris Classification Ulceration: Present Kudo pit pattern: IIO-IIIL-IV Margins: Regular Histology: LGD

54 How do we manage the lesions? Detection Characterization Treatment Follow-up

55 How do we manage the lesions? Endoscopically resectable : Margins of the lesion are identified The lesion appears to be enterely removed Histology confirms the completed removal Biopsies taken from adjagent mucosa to the removed lesion are free of dysplasia SCENIC, Laine et al. Gastroenterology 2015; 148:

56 How do we manage the lesions? Endoscopically resectable : Margins identified Enterely Removed En Block

57 How do we manage the colonic lesions? Endoscopically resectable Snare polypectomy or EMR: consider referral if necessary EMR or ESD; consider referral if necessary Resection should only be attempted by endoscopists skilled in EMR or ESD of flat/depressed lesions Biopsies takene of the flat endoscopically normal-appearing mucosa surrounding the resection site are placed in a separate container Tattoo site Review histology of resected lesion and biopsies of surrounding mucosa Yes No Close endoscopic surveillance at 1-6 and 12 months, with biopsies of resection site ASGE Guidelines, Gastrointestinal Endoscopy 2015; 81: Incomplete resection Repeat colonoscopy with attempted resection

58 How do we manage the colonic lesions? Suggested indications fro ESD in nonpolypoid colorectal dysplasia Patient selection Age >50 years; ESD in younger and healthy patients may not be suitable given the potential risk for metachronous lesions Colonoscopy shows remission to mild activity (Mayo 0 or 1) disease activity Patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis should be considered to have higher risk for colorectal cancer Number of lesions Macroscopic features Surface pattern of lesion not suitable for endoscopic resection Pathologic features Preferably with single lesion > 10 mm Lesion with clearly demarcated border Lesion without large depression Lesion with VN (invasive cancer) surface pattern Low-grade to high-grade dysplasia Sessile serrated adenoma/polyp with/out dysplasia Complete removal Well-differentiated carcinoma with invasion depth less than 1000 µm (in Japan) Not indicated: signet cell carcinoma and poorly differentiated carcinoma Follow-up Repeated colonoscopy within 6 to 12 months Biopsy scar site and surrounding tissue Team for endoscopipc resection of dysplasia in IBD Management of NP-CRD requires a team approach comprising not only an experienced endoscopy team but also a GI pathologist and an IBD surgeon Soetikno et al. Gastroenterol Endoscopy 2018; 87:

59 How do we manage the colonic lesions? Rates of metachronous dysplasia after ESD for non polypoid colorectal dysplasia Study Metachrounous dysplasia Follow-up, months (median) Pathologic features and number of lesions Iacopini et al 3/8 (38%) 24 LGD: 3 Suzuki et al 3/27 (11%) 33 Dysplasia: 3 Kinoshita et al 1/20 (5%) 21 HGD: 1 Summary 7/55 (135; 95% CI, 6%-25%) 27 Metachronous dysplasia is defined as further dysplasia occurring away from the ESD resection site.

63 How do we follow-up the colonic lesions? Detection Characterization Treatment Follow-up

64 Summary: The approach to surveillance colonoscopy in IBD Dye Chromoendoscopy should be adopted in the daily practice as standard endoscopic technique for colonic lesions detection in IBD Selective virtual and dye chromoendoscopy with new optical enhancement diagnosis scopes may help to characterize the colonic lesions Optical enhancement diagnosis with or without magnification to assess margins and plan endoscopic therapeutic strategy. Local resection such as EMR or ESD in selected cases may be used to spare total colectomy. A distinct border of the lesion must be recognized for local resection Endoscopists must be dedicated to IBD patients for best diagnostic and therapeutic management. Laine L et al.
