Microinvasive gastric cancer

This study tested whether a special endoscopy technique called ME-NBI (magnifying endoscopy with narrow band imaging) can better diagnose early stomach cancer than the standard white light biopsy. Researchers looked at 211 patients with suspicious stomach lesions. They compared t…

This study tested a new way to remove early-stage stomach cancer using a special knife that sprays water to help cut and seal tissue at the same time. The goal was to see if this method (called SPEED) is faster and safer than the usual procedure. The study involved 548 adults wit…

This study tested a new way to remove early-stage stomach cancer using a special knife that sprays water while cutting. The goal was to make the procedure faster and safer than the standard method. Researchers looked at 548 patients to compare the new water-injecting technique wi…

This study looks at early gastric cancer, a disease where the tumor is confined to the stomach's inner layers. It asks whether the pre-surgery assessment (clinical staging) matches the actual findings after surgery (pathological staging) in a large group of Western patients. The …

This completed study examined how to best manage early-stage upper gastrointestinal cancer in patients who also have liver cirrhosis and enlarged veins in the esophagus (varices). Researchers compared outcomes of a keyhole-like endoscopic surgery (ESD) between 206 patients with a…
