Conclusion
The Japanese have pioneered research in the field of EGC and have established a universally acceptable macroscopic classification of EGC, which has contributed to the early diagnosis of gastric cancer. This chapter has discussed the endoscopic diagnosis of EGC and the typical cancerous findings of each type of EGC.
