Abstract

Background

The therapeutic role of endoscopic papillectomy (EP) for early ampullary cancer (AC) is still controversial. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the curative potential of EP for early AC and to identify predictors of lymph node metastases (LNMs).

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed 173 patients who were prospectively included in a database and who underwent EP between 1999 and 2013. Adenocarcinoma was present in 28 resected specimens. An additional surgery was proposed in cases of duodenal submucosal infiltration, duct ingrowth, R1 resection or lymphovascular invasion. Clinicopathological information and outcomes were collected, and predictors of LNMs were evaluated.

Results

Duodenal submucosal invasion was present in 16/28 cases and LNMs, in 9/28 cases. ACs of the biliopancreatic subtype were smaller (NS); 100 % had submucosal invasion, and 71 % had LNMs. Smaller tumour size, biliopancreatic subtype and submucosal invasion were significantly correlated with LNMs (p < 0.028, p < 0.028 and p < 0.014). Predictive factors of LNMs in the multivariate analysis were submucosal invasion and tumour size (OR 0.032, p < 0.023 and OR 0.711, p < 0.035). EP was curative in 100 % of cancers with R0 resection and no evidence of submucosal or lymphovascular invasion.

Conclusion

EP may be curative for patients with AC limited to the duodenal mucosa or the sphincter of Oddi without lymphovascular invasion. Due to the presence of more invasive stages at diagnosis, EP may not be curative for ACs of the biliopancreatic subtype. The significance of tumour size is limited by other confounders, such as the histological subtype.
