Abstract

Advances in endoscopic imaging technology have enabled the detection of gastrointestinal neoplasia at an early stage. This allows for endoscopic treatment to be carried out without the need for radical surgery. As endoscopic treatment increasingly becomes a mainstream treatment option for gastrointestinal cancers, it is important for endoscopists to familiarize themselves with the features of early neoplasia on advanced endoscopic imaging. This chapter provides case illustrations of gastric neoplastic lesions.
