RESUMO

Background and study aims: The aim of this study was to compare narrow band imaging (NBI) without magnification and chromoendoscopy with Lugols solution for detecting superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in patients with head and neck cancer. Patients and methods: This is a prospective observational study of 129 patients with primary head and neck tumors consecutively referred to the Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Unit of Hospital das Clínicas, São Paulo University Medical School (FMUSP), Brazil, between August 2006 and February 2007. Conventional examinations, NBI and Lugol chromoendoscopy were consecutively performed, and the detected lesions were mapped, recorded and sent for biopsy. The results of the three methods were compared regarding sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, positive likelihood value and negative likelihood value. Results: Of the 129 patients, nine (7%) were diagnosed with carcinomas, five of which were in situ and four intramucosal. All carcinomas were detected through NBI and Lugol chromoendoscopy. Only six lesions were diagnosed by conventional examination, all of which were larger than 10 mm. Conclusions: Narrow-band imaging technology with optical filters has high sensitivity and high negative predictive value for detecting superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinomas and produces results comparable to those obtained with 2.0% Lugol chromoendoscopy in patients with head and neck cancer
