Article Synopsis
- The Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society (JGES) hosted four symposia from 2021 to 2022, focusing on advanced diagnostic endoscopy for upper gastrointestinal issues.
- Each session included multiple studies addressing challenges, diagnostic advancements, and the incorporation of artificial intelligence in endoscopy.
- The discussions aim to enhance understanding of current practices and inspire future developments for effective clinical endoscopic diagnostic systems.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates long-term surveillance for gastric cancer, particularly focusing on cases diagnosed 10 or more years after initial treatment.
- It analyzes 377 patients across 14 institutions, revealing that invasive cancers diagnosed after 10 years tend to be more aggressive and have a higher pathological stage compared to those diagnosed sooner.
- The findings emphasize the importance of ongoing surveillance for all patients, regardless of mucosal atrophy, especially after 10 years post-eradication.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on differentiating between undifferentiated-type and differentiated-type early gastric cancers (EGC) to guide endoscopic resection decisions.
- It tested the effectiveness of white-light endoscopy (WLE) and magnifying narrow-band imaging (M-NBI) in diagnosing these types of EGCs, with M-NBI using specific patterns to identify undifferentiated tumors.
- Although both methods showed similar overall accuracy, M-NBI was found to have significantly higher specificity, which could help in minimizing unnecessary surgeries by preventing misdiagnosis.
