Carcinome épidermoïde œsophagien superficiel: importance d’une approche multidisciplinaire

Early oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma: importance of a multidisciplinary approach

  • Published:
Acta Endoscopica

Résumé

Le carcinome épidermoïde œsophagien représente environ 50 % des cancers œsophagiens. Le pronostic des cancers œsophagiens reste sombre; néanmoins, lorsqu’il est détecté à un stade précoce, le patient peut bénéficier d’un traitement endoscopique par mucosectomie. Une bonne collaboration entre l’endoscopiste et l’anatomopathologiste ainsi qu’une stadification pathologique correcte sur pièce de mucosectomie sont dès lors primordiales pour un suivi correct du patient et si nécessaire, un traitement complémentaire. Dans cette brève revue, nous résumons les données indispensables que doivent connaître les différents intervenants (endoscopiste et anatomopathologiste) afin de fournir le traitement le plus adéquat aux patients porteurs d’un carcinome épidermoïde œsophagien superficiel.

Summary

Squamous cell carcinoma accounts for about 50 % of œsophageal cancers. The prognosis of œsophageal cell cancer remains poor, but if detected at an early stage, patients can be treated by endoscopic mucosectomy. Good communication between endoscopist and pathologist as well as correct pathological staging on the mucosectomy specimen are of utmost importance for correct follow-up and, if needed, further treatment of the patient. In this short review we summarize what endoscopists and pathologists should know in order to provide adequate help to patients with an early œsophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
