Session 1 overview EQUIP goals review
Session 2 goals Paris classification system review Dye and optical staining methods Role in detection Role in classification; Kudo & Sano Understand settings they are use Utilize to differentiate neoplastic potential By the end of this session, participants will be understand the three major classification systems (Paris, Kudo, Sano), understand the settings in which they are used, understand the utility each has in detection and classification and show proficiency in their application

Does Routine “Pan Chromoendoscopy” Increase Adenoma Detection? Yes, but with longer procedure times
Kudo pit patterns Objectives Understand What Kudo pit patterns represent Use of dye staining to observe pit patterns Use Kudo pit patterns to: Distinguish neoplasia from non-neoplasia Differentiate neoplastic lesions in terms of degree of dysplasia
Kudo pit patterns Developed for use in chromoendoscopy Indigo carmine remains in depressions (pits) The violet dyes actually stain the mucosa Results not replicated with NBI in absence of dye staining.
Kudo pit patterns Technique Feces & mucous must be washed away before staining 2 – 7ml applied to lesion, excess suctioned before observation Spray catheter or syringe injection for indigo carmine Violet dyes require 30 – 60 seconds to stain prior to observation
Kudo Pits = openings of the colonic crypts Pit pattern = arrangement of openings on mucosal surface Pit patterns categories Normal mucosa – pit pattern I Hyperplastic – pit pattern II Adenomatous – pit pattern III-L High grade adenoma: pit pattern III-s, and IV Cancerous – pit pattern V
Kudo non-neoplastic patterns I & II Type I: Normal mucosa Roundish pits with regular distribution Represent straight, non-branching crypts Type II: Hyperplastic Large star-like or “onion”-like pits, regular Explain
Kudo neoplastic patterns III-L : Adenomatous lesions III-L: Adenoma (low-grade) Tubular or round eLongated pits Pits are Larger than normal Explain
Kudo pit patterns Non-neoplastic Neoplastic Type II: Hyperplastic Type III-L: Adenoma Non-neoplastic lesions can be distinquished from neoplastic lesions based on the shape, size and regularity of the crypt. Compare the Kudo II Hyperplastic lesion shown on the left with the Type III-L adenoma on the right. Notice that the crypts become elongated and larger in the adenoma compared to the hyperlastic lesion. Tubular or round, elongated, large pits. Large, star like (or onion) crypts. Regular pattern
Kudo neoplastic patterns III-s, IV: High grade lesions Compactly arranged tubular (or round) pits Pits are Smaller than normal Tend to be depressed lesions IV: Pits look branched or gyrus like Often have a focal cancer Explain

Kudo pit patterns Adenoma Advanced adenoma Type III-L: Type V: High grade lesion Neoplastic lesions can be further distinguished as adenomatous vs. cancerous based on the organization of the MC structure. Here the question doesn’t become whether the Meshed capillaries are present but rather the organization of the capillary pattern around the glands Pits look branched or gyrus like Tubular, elongated, large pits.

Sano capillary patterns Developed with Narrow band imaging Narrow spectrum allows visualization of capillary pattern in superficial layer Capillary vessels appear brown on NBI Capillary pattern around glands change with neoplasia 3 capillary pattern types CP I: Normal mucosa or hyperplastic lesion CP II: Adenomatous lesion CP III: Cancer (further subdivided into A & B)
Sano capillary patterns CP I CP I: Normal mucosa and hyperplastic polyps Hyperplastic lesions appear light brown on NBI Messed capillaries not seen or faint, If MC seen (large lesions) will be in a regular honeycomb pattern The first distinction; hyperplastic vs adenoma
Sano capillary patterns CP II CP II: Adenomatous lesions Adenomas appear dark brown on NBI MC clearly seen Round, oval or honeycomb pattern Pattern may be elongated with larger diameter
Sano capillary patterns CP III CP III: Cancerous lesions MC clearly seen Increased density of microvessels Unevenly sized thick capillaries Branching and irregularity Further subdivided based on depth of invasion CPIII A: Sub-mucosal invasion <1000 CPIII B: Sub-mucosal invasion > 1000
Sano capillary patterns CP I: Normal mucosa Hyperplastic lesions CP II: Adenomatous lesions First we’ll look at hyperplastic vs. adenomatous lesions. When using Sano to make this distinction, the first question is whether you can see the capillary patterns. If they are not visible or only faintly visible then it’s either normal mucosa or a hyperplastic lesion. If the meshed vessels are clearly visible then what is the pattern? With current resolution, a honeycomb pattern may be faintly seen in large hyperplastic lesions. However the meshed capillaries in adenomas are very clearly seen and are elongated and large in comparison. Meshed capillary vessels (‐) Meshed capillary vessels (+)

Sano capillary patterns CP II: Adenomatous lesions CP III: Cancerous lesions Neoplastic lesions can be further distinguished as adenomatous vs. cancerous based on the organization of the MC structure. Here the question doesn’t become whether the Meshed capillaries are present but rather the organization of the capillary pattern around the glands No honeycomb pattern. Irregularity of size, complex branching, disruption, or irregular winding. Round, oval, honeycomb like pattern. May be elongated and large diameter.

Sano capillary patterns CP III types: depth of invasion CPIII-A: Cancerous lesion; (pSM & pSM1) MC clearly seen, CPIII-B: Cancerous lesion; (pSM2-3) Sano capillary pattern type III are the cancerous lesions. They have been further subdivided into two subtypes based on depth of invasion.
Sano capillary patterns CP III A: Cancerous lesions CP III B: Cancerous lesions Neoplastic lesions can be further distinguished as adenomatous vs. cancerous based on the organization of the MC structure. Here the question doesn’t become whether the Meshed capillaries are present but rather the organization of the capillary pattern around the glands Meshed capillary vessels characterized by: blind ending, branching and curtailed irregularly Lack of uniformity High density of capillary vessels Nearly avascular or loose micro capillary vessels

Are the meshed capillaries visible? If visible what is the pattern? Is the structure organized or disorganized.
