Patient flowchart.
Figure 2 Proportion of submucosal invasion based on severity of enlarged folds.
The P value was calculated using the Cochran-Armitage trend test.
Figure 3 Representative images of enlarged folds and coexisting gastric cancer.
A and B: Enlarged fold-negative; 74-year-old man with current Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. The cancer was limited to the mucosa and was intestinal-type; C and D: Mildly enlarged folds; 40-year-old woman with current H. pylori infection. The cancer invaded the submucosa and was diffuse-type; E and F: Severely enlarged folds; 60-year-old man with current H. pylori infection. The cancer invaded the serosa and was diffuse-type. A, C and E: Greater curvature of the body; B, D and F: Gastric cancer.
