Meta AnalysisDiagnostic Accuracy of JES Classification for Prediction of Invasion Depth in Superficial Esophageal Squamous Carcinoma: Meta-Analysis.
Prediction of the depth of invasion in superficial oesophageal squamous carcinoma (SESC) is an important factor for choosing the treatment. Recently, the Japan Esophageal Society (JES) designed a magnifying endoscopy classification based on the Inoue and Arima classifications. The aim of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis of the published literature on JES classification. ⋯ Type B3, sensitivity was low (0.49, 95% CI: 0.41-0.56), with high specificity and AUC (specificity: 0.99; AUC: 0.95). JES classification is a useful and reliable modality for predicting the depth of invasion of SESC, but other modalities should be considered for additional assessment when type B2 is detected. Key Words: JES classification, Superficial oesophageal squamous carcinoma, Depth of invasion, Magnifying endoscopy, Meta-analysis.
