Open AccessAcetic acid-indigo carmine chromoendoscopy for delineating early gastric cancers: its usefulness according to histological type
Endoscopic treatments, such as endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and laparoscopic gastrectomy, are increasingly used to treat a subset of patients with early gastric cancer (EGC). To achieve successful ou...

Open AccessMarginal turbid band and light blue crest, signs observed in magnifying narrow-band imaging endoscopy, are indicative of gastric intestinal metaplasia
Gastric intestinal metaplasia (IM) usually appears in flat mucosa and shows few morphologic changes, making diagnosis using conventional endoscopy unreliable. Magnifying narrow-band imaging (NBI) endoscopy ena...

Open AccessGastric epithelial dysplasia: characteristics and long-term follow-up results after endoscopic resection according to morphological categorization
Gastric epithelial dysplasia (GED) can be morphologically categorized into adenomatous and foveolar types. To date, there have been few studies on the clinical characteristics of GEDs according to the morpholo...

Open AccessComparison of sequential therapy and amoxicillin/tetracycline containing bismuth quadruple therapy for the first-line eradication of Helicobacter pylori: a prospective, multi-center, randomized clinical trial
The <80 % Helicobacter pylori eradication rate with sequential therapy is unsatisfactory. Modified bismuth quadruple therapy, replacing metronidazole with amoxicillin, could be promising because H. pylori resista...

Clinicopathologic features of early gastric carcinoma with lymphoid stroma and feasibility of endoscopic submucosal dissection
Gastric carcinoma with lymphoid stroma (GCLS) is a rare disease known to have unique features and a favorable prognosis. This study aimed to determine the clinicopathologic features of early GCLS (EGCLS) and d...

Endoscopic submucosal dissection for papillary adenocarcinoma of the stomach: is it really safe?
Papillary adenocarcinoma of the stomach has been treated according to the same endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) indication criteria as other differentiated-type adenocarcinomas. We aimed to compare lymph...

Open AccessTwo staging systems for gastrointestinal stromal tumors in the stomach: which is better?
The prognosis of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is influenced by its anatomic site; however, few studies on the prognosis of gastric GISTs have been reported. The aims of this study were to evaluate l...

Article
Long-term outcome of endoscopic submucosal dissection is comparable to that of surgery for early gastric cancer: a propensity-matched analysis
Data concerning the long-term outcomes of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) versus surgery for early gastric cancer (EGC) are limited. We aimed to compare the long-term outcomes of ESD and surgery for pat...

Risk factors of lymph node metastasis after non-curative endoscopic resection of undifferentiated-type early gastric cancer
This study aimed to investigate risk factors for lymph node (LN) or distant metastasis after non-curative endoscopic resection (ER) of undifferentiated-type early gastric cancer (EGC).

Article
Clinical outcomes of endoscopic resection for undifferentiated intramucosal early gastric cancer larger than 2 cm
This study investigated the long-term clinical outcomes of endoscopic resection (ER) for undifferentiated-type (UD) early gastric cancer (EGC), with tumor size > 2 cm as the only non-curative factor.

Comparison between endoscopic submucosal resection and surgery for the curative resection of undifferentiated-type early gastric cancer within expanded indications: a nationwide multi-center study
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for undifferentiated early gastric cancer (UD EGC) has debate due to the risk of lymph node metastasis. We investigated the outcomes of ESD compared to those of surgery f...
