“…Apart from conventional endoscopy, magnifying endoscopy combined with narrow-band imaging (NBI) has been recently introduced in the diagnosis of early GC [4, 12] improving the specificity, the sensitivity and the accuracy of the diagnosis [13, 14]. However, missed diagnosis of GC on endoscopy is a common occurrence, with false-negative rates ranging among 5–19% [4, 15, 16].…”

“…ECS has been shown to have high diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity 86% specificity 100%) for gastric cancer. However, in this study, 10 of the 82 lesions investigated could not be clearly observed by ECS due to poor staining due to viscous mucus or plaque 49. Sato et al 50 further demonstrated that ECS could differentiate between normal antrum mucosa and preneoplastic changes, whereby they were able to identify four different mucosal patterns in the antrum in a small single-centre pilot study consisting of 64 patients, where the positive predictive values for associating type 1 pattern for normal mucosa and type 4 pattern for gastric intestinal metaplasia were both 100%.…”

“…The combination of image‐enhanced endoscopy and magnifying endoscopy is an established modality to narrow the differential diagnosis of suspicious lesions, although a final diagnosis still requires histopathological assessment of specimens obtained using endoscopic biopsy . Endocytoscopy and confocal microscopy may provide future alternatives, but these modalities are not common . Future modalities may minimize the number of unnecessary endoscopic biopsies.…”
