The aim of the study was to investigate the novel endoscopic findings in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) under narrow-band imaging (NBI) and to determine the reliability of screening NPC by NBI. A total of 79 adults underwent nasopharyngeal biopsy. We proposed five distinctly different findings that need to be examined by NBI: Type I: brownish spots, Type II: irregular microvascular pattern (IMVP), Type III: light crests, Type IV: side-difference, Type V: presence of either IMVP or side-difference, of which last three (Type III-V) were a new concept. The results of NPC diagnosis by detecting NBI Type V pattern, the false positive, false negative, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy were 6.7%, 2.9%, 97.1%, 93.3%, 91.7%, 97.7%, and 94.9%, respectively. On the other hand, there was a higher prevalence of Type I and IV patterns in T1 category NPC. The nasopharyngeal endoscopy coupled with NBI was able to provide a rapid, convenient, and highly reliable screening for high-risk populations.
本研究旨在探讨窄带成像(NBI)下鼻咽癌(NPC)的新内镜表现,并确定 NBI 筛查 NPC 的可靠性。共有 79 名成年人接受了鼻咽活检。我们提出了五种需要通过 NBI 检查的明显不同的发现:I 型:棕色斑点,II 型:不规则微血管模式(IMVP),III 型:淡嵴,IV 型:侧差异,V 型:存在 IMVP 或侧差异,其中后三种(III-V 型)是新概念。通过检测 NBI V 型模式诊断 NPC 的结果为假阳性率 6.7%,假阴性率 2.9%,灵敏度 97.1%,特异性 93.3%,阳性预测值 97.7%,阴性预测值 94.9%,准确性 94.9%。另一方面,T1 期 NPC 中 I 型和 IV 型模式更为常见。鼻咽内镜联合 NBI 能够为高危人群提供快速、方便、高度可靠的筛查。
