Background This is a consensus developed by a group of expert endoscopists aiming to
standardise the preparation, process and endoscopic procedural steps for diagnosis of early …

Methodology for the diagnosis and staging of early gastric cancer (EGC) has improved in
Japan since the development of the gastro-camera and determination of a definition of EGC …

Objective Narrow band imaging (NBI) is generally considered to be useful for lesion
characterization, but not enhanced detection of gastric lesions, because of the dark …

Background and aim: Some studies suggest that narrow-band imaging (NBI) can be more
accurate at diagnosing gastric intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia than white-light …

Objective Magnifying endoscopy with narrow band imaging (ME-NBI) is widely used in
gastroscopy, especially in the diagnosis of early gastric cancer. The purpose of this meta …

Survival rates for upper gastrointestinal cancers are poor and oesophageal cancer
incidence is increasing. Upper gastrointestinal cancer is also often missed during …

Simple Summary Throughout the years, endoscopic technologies have advanced to
facilitate better assessment of gastric lesions and early detection of gastric cancer. With …

Background The identification of gastric superficial cancerous lesions based on
conventional white-light endoscopy (WLE) is challenging, and histological analysis remains …

Aim. The aim of the article is to systematically review the current evidence on the diagnostic
use of narrow band imaging (NBI), flexible spectral imaging color enhancement (FICE) and …

Despite declines in incidence, gastric cancer remains a disease with a poor prognosis and
limited treatment options due to its often late stage of diagnosis. In contrast, early gastric …
