Core Tip

Core Tip: Gastric cystica profunda (GCP) is a premalignant lesion developing on basis of ischemia. Chronic active or atrophic gastritis are considered to be a significant etiological factors in the development of GCPs and carry a risk for cancer formation. GCPs, with or without early gastric cancer, can be removed effectively by endoscopic resection.
