Core Tip

Core Tip: Knowing and understanding the risks associated with gastric polyps (GPs) is an important step in diagnosing and managing them. Knowing “when to do”, “what to do”, and “how to do” is important for not missing any significant pre-malignant GPs. A good classification reinforces the clinical prerequisites for endoscopists when dealing with GPs during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.
