Core Tip	With aggressive screening, gastric cancer can be detected in the early stages, leading to the possibility of successful minimally invasive treatments, such as endoscopic submucosal dissection. A rare type of gastric cancer, signet ring cell carcinoma, has aggressive biological features, but patients treated in the early stages may actually fare better than those with adenocarcinoma. Here we present findings specific for signet ring cell carcinoma that can be identified on magnification endoscopy, potentially securing a diagnosis in the early stages of the disease without the need to rely on random biopsies.
