Core Tip

Core Tip: Consider screening for gastric cancer in appropriate patient populations, as early gastric cancer outcomes are associated with improved survival. Use of different imaging modalities during endoscopy such as narrow-band imaging may improve detection of gastric cancer and premalignant gastric conditions. Endoscopic mucosal resection and submucosal dissection have shown favorable long-term outcomes. While there are no established evidence-based gastric cancer surveillance guidelines in the United States, other studies have suggested annual surveillance after gastric cancer resection. Endoscopic surveillance of premalignant gastric conditions may be considered, with closer intervals in patients with evidence of dysplasia.
