Core Tip	Gastric cancer is one of the most common neoplastic diseases in the Western world and has a poor prognosis and inconsistent signs and symptoms in the early phases. Narrow-band imaging with magnifying endoscopy was shown to be a valid method for intestinal metaplasia (IM) detection, this technique can reliably target which patients should be biopsied to evaluate IM and those who do not need biopsies. Moreover, a semi-quantitative evaluation of light blue crest appearance was feasible as there was a good correlation with the histological assessment of IM percentage.
