Core Tip

Core Tip: Crawling-type adenocarcinoma has specific features, such as irregularly fused glands and low-grade cellular atypia, resembling intestinal metaplasia. Given this, precise attention to its histological characteristics is crucial when diagnosing “crawling-type” adenocarcinoma (CRA). Early detection of CRA is challenging which leads to the importance of the detection of molecular markers and thorough biopsy analysis for accurate classification and clinical management strategies.
