文摘BACKGROUND Esophageal chromoendoscopy with iodine solution is important for detecting early esophageal cancer.The effect of routine treatment for lesions lightly stained with Lugol’s iodine solution is limited,and the addition of natural substances to a regular diet is becoming increasingly common.Vinegar has antitumor effects as reported in previous studies.AIM To evaluate whether vinegar supplementation could improve the prognosis of patients with lightly stained esophageal lesions.METHODSThis prospective single-centre trial included consecutive patients with lightly stained lesions between June 2020 and April 2022.Patients in the experimental group received increased amounts of vinegar for 6 months.The primary outcome of the study was the clinical therapeutic effect.Complications related to vinegar ingestion and adverse events were also recorded in detail.RESULTS A total of 166 patients were included in the final analysis.There was no significant difference in the baseline data between the two groups.Intention-to-treat(ITT)analysis demonstrated that the rates at which endoscopic characteristics improved were 33.72%in the experimental group and 20.00%in the conventional group(P=0.007);and the rates at which biopsy pathology improved were 19.77%and 8.75%,respectively(P=0.011).Additional vinegar consumption had a statistically protective effect on the rate at which endoscopic characteristics improved[hazard ratio(HR)_(ITT)=2.183,95%CI:1.183-4.028;HR_(per-protocol(PP))=2.307,95%CI:1.202-4.426]and biopsy pathology improved(HR_(ITT)=2.931,95%CI:1.212-7.089;HR_(PP)=3.320,95%CI:1.295-8.507).No statistically significant effect of increased vinegar consumption on preventing high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia or early cancer was observed(HR_(ITT)=0.382,95%CI:0.079-1.846;HRPP=0.382,95%CI:0.079-1.846).The subgroup analyses indicated that the overall therapeutic improvement of endoscopic characteristics and biopsy pathology seemed more obvious in older(age>60)male patients with small lesions(lesion size≤0.5 cm).Three patients in the experimental group reported acid regurgitation and heartburn.No adverse event during gastroscopy were recorded during follow-up.CONCLUSION A moderately increased ingestion of vinegar could not directly reduce the risk of esophageal cancer in the mucosa dysplasia population,but it improved the endoscopic characteristics and ameliorated the biopsy pathology to a certain extent.Further research is needed to verify the effect of nutritional intervention on precancerous esophageal lesions.
