Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) was used as therapy for early neoplasia associated with Barrett's oesophagus (BE). This is 5-year follow-up of patients enrolled into randomised controlled trial of 5-aminolaevulinic acid (ALA) vs. Photofrin PDT. METHODS: Biopsies were taken from original Barrett's segment during endoscopic follow up using Seattle protocol. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) ± radiofrequency ablation (RFA) was preferred therapy in patients who failed PDT and/or had recurrent neoplasia. RESULTS: Fifty eight of 64 patients enrolled in the original trial were followed up including 31 patients treated with ALA PDT (17 patients with ≤6 cm, 14 patients with >6 cm segment of BE) and 27 treated with Photofrin PDT (14 patients with ≤6 cm, 13 patients with >6 cm BE). Initial success was achieved in 65% (20/31) ALA and 48% (13/27) Photofrin patients (p = .289). Thirty five percent patients (7/20) relapsed in ALA group and 54% (7/13) relapsed in Photofrin group (p = .472). At a median follow-up of 67 months, no significant difference was found in long-term complete reversal of intestinal metaplasia (CR-IM) and complete reversal of dysplasia (CR-D) between ALA and Photofrin groups (78% vs. 63%; p = .18; 90% vs. 76%; p = .26). Original length of BE did not alter long-term outcome. Four patients from each group progressed to invasive oesophageal adenocarcinoma. Initial success of ALA PDT was associated with significantly better likelihood of long-term remission (p = .03). CONCLUSIONS: Initial response to PDT plays key role in long term outcome. RFA ± EMR have, however, become preferred minimally invasive ablative therapy for BE-related neoplasia due to poor efficacy of PDT.
