Core Tip	Overdiagnosis is the most serious harm of cancer screening and this can occur in any cancer screening programs. It is defined as the detection of cancers that would never have been found if there is no screening. Despite the lack of standardization of the estimation method for overdiagnosis, its estimation is necessary in endoscopic screening for gastric cancer. To minimize overdiagnosis, the target age group and screening interval should be appropriately defined. Consideration of the balance of benefits and harms of endoscopic screening is imperative for its effective introduction in communities.
