Core Tip	Prediction of the histological diagnosis of early gastric cancer (EGC) using endoscopy is important for determining the appropriate therapeutic approach. In the present study, we combined magnifying endoscopy (ME) with narrow-band imaging (NBI) and enhanced ME (EME) to determine the associations between microvascular (MV) and mucosal surface (MS) patterns of depressed-type EGCs and the histological type. Indeed, 82 of the 90 lesions (91.1%) were classified according to MV or MS pattern, and 76 of the 90 lesions (84.4%) were diagnosed according to histological type. Therefore, our study suggested that the NBI-EME combination was useful for diagnosing the histological type in depressed-type EGC.
