Core Tip |
The early detection of gastric cancer is critical to improving prognosis. A variety of techniques, including magnifying endoscopy (ME) and magnifying narrow-band imaging endoscopy (ME-NBI), are used to identify early gastric cancer (EGC). Conventional white light endoscopy shows a relatively high specificity and accuracy in diagnosing EGC, which suggests that it should be a first-line endoscopic screening modality. However, further investigations using ME and ME-NBI are needed to achieve higher sensitivity and accuracy. Additionally, the ability to visualize microstructures in suspected gastric lesions could be significantly improved. |
