Abstract Background Gastric subepithelial lesions, including gastrointestinal stromal tumors, are often found during routine gastroscopy. While endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (EUS-FNAB) has been the gold standard for diagnosing gastric subepithelial lesions, alternative open biopsy procedures, such as mucosal incision-assisted biopsy (MIAB) has been reported useful. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of MIAB for the diagnosis of gastric SELs compared with EUS-FNAB. Methods We retrospectively analyzed medical records of 177 consecutive patients with gastric SELs who underwent either MIAB or EUS-FNAB at five hospitals in Japan between January 2010 and January 2018. Diagnostic yield, procedural time, and adverse event rates for the two procedures were evaluated before and after propensity-score matching. Results No major procedure-related adverse events were observed in either group. Both procedures yielded highly-accurate diagnoses once large enough samples were obtained; however, such successful sampling was more often accomplished by MIAB than by EUS-FNAB, especially for small SELs. As a result, MIAB provided better diagnostic yields for SELs smaller than 20-mm diameter. The diagnostic yields of both procedures were comparable for SELs larger than 20-mm diameter; however, MIAB required significantly longer procedural time (approximately 13 minutes) compared with EUS-FNAB. Conclusions Although MIAB required longer procedural time, it outperformed EUS-FNAB when diagnosing gastric SELs smaller than 20-mm diameter.

Objective: We aimed to assess the risk of malignancy (ROM) and predictive values in prior breast cytology studies as a basis for the new International Academy of Cytology (IAC) Yokohama system for reporting breast fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) cytology, which classifies cytologic diagnoses into 5 categories: (1) insufficient material, (2) benign, (3) atypical, (4) suspicious of malignancy, and (5) malignant. Study Design: Publications between January 1, 1997, and December 31, 2017, that studied the performance characteristics of FNAB from palpable and nonpalpable breast masses were identified through the PubMed database. Data for number of total cases and cases within each diagnostic category, if available, were collected. Performance characteristics, including absolute sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and ROM for each category were recorded or, when possible, calculated. Results: The literature review resulted in a case cohort of 33,341 breast FNABs, drawn from 27 studies. Pooling these cases together, the ROM for insufficient material, benign, atypical, suspicious, and malignant were 30.3, 4.7, 51.5, 85.4, and 98.7%, respectively. The complete sensitivity and specificity were 96.3 and 98.8%, correspondingly. The PPV and NPV were 98.7 and 95.3%, correspondingly. The false-negative and false-positive rates were 3.7 and 1.0%, respectively. Conclusions: This meta-analysis demonstrates that the diagnostic categories of the new IAC Yokohama System each carry an implied ROM, which increases from the benign to malignant categories. This study also shows the high sensitivity and specificity of FNAB for breast lesions.
