Article Abstract

Endoscopic technologies have been continuously advancing throughout the years to facilitate improvement in the detection and diagnosis of gastric lesions. With the development of different endoscopic diagnostic modalities for EGC, several classifications have been advocated for the evaluation of gastric lesions, aiming for an early detection and diagnosis. Sufficient knowledge on the appearance of EGC on white light endoscopy is fundamental for early detection and management. On the other hand, those superficial EGC with subtle morphological changes that are challenging to be detected with white light endoscopy may now be clearly defined by means of image-enhanced endoscopy (IEE). By combining magnifying endoscopy and IEE, irregularities in the surface structures can be evaluated and highlighted, leading to improvements in EGC diagnostic accuracy. The main scope of this review article is to offer a closer look at the different classifications of EGC based on several endoscopic diagnostic modalities, as well as to introduce readers to newer and novel classifications, specifically developed for the stomach, for the assessment and diagnosis of gastric lesions.

A 73-year-old male was admitted to our department with complaints of upper abdominal distension, accompanied by dull pain and belching for more than 10 days. Gastroscopy revealed a broad-based raised lesion, approximately 1.0 cm in diameter, on the anterior wall of the gastric body, with a central star-shaped depression, erosion, and surrounding congestion.

Background: Damage to peri-esophageal tissue may occur following pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Active esophageal cooling has been shown to reduce the incidence of mucosal esophageal injury, probably by dissipation of heat and inhibition of inflammation. Whether it also protects the peri-esophageal vagal nerve plexus and reduces gastric hypomotility and food retention is uncertain.

In the field of gastrointestinal oncology, the development of novel artificial intelligence (AI) processes may help with multiple aspects of cancer care delivery. However, a comprehensive understanding of the current utility of AI in gastrointestinal oncology is lacking. The authors conducted searches in the following databases: MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), and CINAHL (Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health) Ultimate (EBSCO).
