Neoplasia

Microscopic in vivo imaging in the lower gastrointestinal tract does not specifically aim for the detection of lesions (this usually requires a wide field technique) but for on-site high-resolution characterization of lesions detected by other means. needs: First, visualization of ultrastructural details that are normally not revealed with high-definition colonoscopy as a method not only to predict but to actually visualize histology, second, for risk stratification and on-site developmentof a therapeuticstrategy,and third, in conjunction with molec­ular imaging in a translational approach (at least at present). Computer­aided diagnosis aims at supporting the non-expert/non-histopathologist with analysis of microscopic features.

Morphology

Starting from magnification or zoom endoscopy, it has been the ultimate goal of endoscopists to revealmicroscopic structures in a resolution close to conventional histology. Importantly, the orientation of the optical sections of most in vivo microscopy devices is parallel to the tissue surface. This is in contrast to conventional ex vivo histology which usually provides sections

topical application of a fluorescent contrast agent. For endocytoscopy (EC), topical intravital stains are preferred. In endoscope-based CLE (eCLE), sections can be obtained in differentdepths by a z-axis actuatoron the endo­scope. In probe-based CLE (pCLE), changing pressure onto the mucosa and different probe types allows different imaging plane depths. Whereas sys­temic staining allows exploitation along the full range of the z-axis, topical staining yields superficial optical sections.

Whereas normal mucosa shows a regu­lar array of hexagonal crypts, finger-like protrusions are seen in adenomas. They are lined with a regular array of a single layer of high prismatic cells, including goblet cells. In deeper sections, the vessels of the Lamina propria become visible. For pCLE, a similar comprehensive classification system has been published. so some of the classical features to determine the grade of dysplasia (e.g. nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio) can only indirectly be determined.Acriflavine stains nuclei. It is applied topically and sprayed onto the mucosa, yielding a superficial cellular resolution (Figure 28(d)). Acriflavine has been used to differentiate high-grade from low-grade neoplasias in vivo. no adverse events have been reported (and acriflavine and similar chemi­cal compounds are freely available, e.g. for cleaning of fish tanks), posi­tive staining of nuclei may indicate nuclear interaction.

Figure 28. Colorectal adenoma, CLE. (a) In colorectal adenoma, a single-layered epithelial layer is seen, containing regular high prismatic cells with interspersed goblet cells. Crypts are elongated (tubular adenoma). (b) In deeper sections, resolution of the epithelium is less accurate, but the lamina propria is more clearly dened, containing bright uorescein-lled vessels with black dots, indicating unstained erythrocytes. (c) With higher grades of dysplasia, supercial optical sections identify slightly more irregular cells — note that nuclei are not visible, but darker tissue is suspicious for neoplasia. The brightly stained lumen identies barrier dysfunction, i.e. micros copic bleeding/uorescein leakage from the lesion. (d) With acriavine, supercial sections reveal the structure, including nuclei, of a tubular adenoma. Within the lamina propria, dark vessel lumens are visible in between the elongated crypts, and the endothelial cells can be identied. eCLE, 1a, b, c: uorescein iv.,1d: topical acriavine; edge length 475µm.

trial.
Sensitivity and specificity for the differentiation of non-neoplastic from neoplastic lesions were 98% and 100%, respectively, however with small numbers of patients. Whereas fluorescein and acriflavine yield bright images at 488 nm (the wavelength used by CLE), cresyl violet excitation

and emission spectra peak at 590 and 630 nm. Therefore, images are less contrasted, and laser power has to be maximized. In colorectal carcino­mas, the tissue architecture is progressively lost (Figure 29). Cellular size is irregular, and in deeper optical sections, tumor vessels become visible. In addition, two distinct features are seen after fluorescein injection: Leakage of contrast from tumor vessels into the tissue and into the lumen becomes more prominent and malignant cells are darker than non-malignant cells. The latter is due to pH-dependent fluorescence intensity of fluorescein and more acidic, lower pH in tumor cells.
Endocytoscopy is fundamentally different from CLE from a techni­cal point of view in that it constitutes an ultrahigh magnification based on light microscopy. Only few groups had access to these prototype endo­scopes, limiting the widespread use in clinical routine despite their quasi­histological resolution and staining options. For the colorectum, different staining methods have been tested. In a prospective small series, crystal violet 0.05% was tested vs methylene blue 1% vs a combination of both. The authors concluded that double staining is optimal for both nuclear and crypt analysis.

In a prospective trial, on-site analysis by endocytoscopy was evaluated vs. routine histopathology for 102 vs 101 lesions, respec­tively. Endocytoscopy was non-inferior to histopathology, with the advan­tage of providing immediate microscopic information.

Endocytoscopy was also able to elicit features for differentiation of serrated lesions: Larger, oval lumina were characteristic of sessile serrated adenomas (SSA, corre­sponding to a type II-o pit pattern), wherea s star-shaped lumina predicted

Figure 29. Colorectal cancer, CLE. (a) In colorectal cancer, the tissue microarchitecture is progres­sively lost: A residual crypt-like structure can be seen on the left side of the image, with leakage from tumor vessels in the upper part. Black crowded cells are forming pseudo-cryptal buds that are visual­ized in the right lower corner. (b) With cresyl violet, malignant cells (upper part of the panel) within an adenoma (lower part) are seen. Note that the nuclei are discernible. (c) In colitis-associated neopla­sia, neovascularization is even more prominent, correlating to the fact that inammation per se is a trigger for enhanced vascularity, as is the inammation-dysplasia sequence. (d) In colitis-associated neoplasia of the distal rectum, the neoplastic changes (left side, with residual elongated crypts and interspersed dark goblet cells) undermine the squamous epithelium (right side of the panel) at the anorectal verge. Note the darker cells (less uorescence in malignant cells) undermining the squamous epithelium at 5 o’clock and the uorescein leakage. eCLE, 1a–c: intravenous uorescein, 1d: topical cresyl violet; edge length 475µm.

Endocytoscopy has recently been combined with narrow-band imaging (NBI) in a prototype endoscope for detailed vascu­lar analysis.

Vasodilatation, change of vessel caliber, loss of the micro­network pattern, and beading of vessels were associated with submucosal deep invasion (Figure 30). The overall accuracy of NBI-augmentedendocy­toscopy was 97%, although interobserver agreement for experienced inves­tigators was somewhat lower and ranged between kappa = 0.44 and 0.67 for the above-mentioned criteria.

Molecular imaging

Molecular microscopic imaging refers to the characterization of lesions based on their molecular fingerprint. from a phage library, colonic adenomas were specifically visualized by pCLE after topical application in patients. cancer and in ex vivo specimens, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR, Figure 31)
98
and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)99have been used to characterize neoplastic lesions and to quantitate target expression by eCLE. This has been transferred to in vivo molecular imaging in 37 patients by topical application of labeled antibodies. An EGFR-specific signal was documented in 18/19 colorectal cancer lesions and in 12/18 ade­nomas, whereas no or only weak fluorescence signal was noted in normal mucosa.
