However, the widespread use of health checkup endoscopy, improvements in endoscopic imaging and heightened awareness of SNADETs among endoscopists have recently led to an increase in their detection rate. Particularly for large SNADETs, the possibility of including cancer must be considered, and thus, complete and reliable resection is essential. Although surgical resection has traditionally been the standard treatment, its high invasiveness has led to increased interest in less invasive endoscopic treatments. Nevertheless, due to the unique anatomical and physiological features of the duodenum, endoscopic treatment in the duodenum remains highly challenging and presents many technical difficulties.</p><p><strong>Summary: </strong>This review provides a comprehensive overview of current endoscopic treatment options for large SNADETs, including conventional endoscopic mucosal resection (C-EMR), underwater endoscopic mucosal resection (U-EMR), cold snare endoscopic mucosal resection (CS-EMR), endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), and laparoscopic-endoscopic cooperative surgery, incorporating the latest clinical findings. While C-EMR, U-EMR, and CS-EMR are associated with lower technical difficulty and favorable safety, they tend to show lower en bloc resection rates and higher recurrence rates for large SNADETs when compared to ESD. In contrast, ESD offers higher en bloc resection rates but carries a greater risk of complications due to its technical complexity.

When GERD symptoms persist despite the maintenance dose therapy (10 mg daily), dose escalation to 20 mg daily is generally recommended. This study aims to clarify the proper timing and predictors for dose escalation of VPZ therapy in patients with refractory GERD treated with the maintenance dose.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This retrospective observational study included 257 patients with symptomatic GERD. Data from medical records, including endoscopic findings and Izumo scale scores, were analyzed.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The mean follow-up period was 3.3 years. Throughout the follow-up period, VPZ dose escalation (from 10 to 20 mg daily) was required in 56 of 257 patients (22%). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed cumulative dose-escalation-free rates at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years were 87%, 81%, and 78%, respectively. Predictive factors for VPZ dose escalation were analyzed using a Cox proportional-hazards regression model. Multivariate analysis revealed that pre-existing epigastric pain was a significant positive predictor for dose escalation, whereas pre-existing constipation was identified as a significant negative predictor. Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that the 1-year dose-escalation-free rates were 69% in patients with epigastric pain compared to 88% in those without (p = 0.001). GERD symptom scores showed a significant improvement 1 month after dose escalation.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The incidence of refractory GERD requiring VPZ dose escalation is relatively low. Epigastric pain prior to VPZ initiation independently predicts the need for dose escalation. VPZ dose escalation effectively improves GERD symptoms.</p>","PeriodicalId":11315,"journal":{"name":"Digestion","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144316172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
