Development and Validation of a Predictive Model for Early Gastric Cancerous Lesions Under Endoscopic Observation

Endoscopic forceps biopsy (EFB) is considered the gold standard and most commonly used for histological diagnosis of gastric epithelial neoplasia before proper management.Many studies have shown that there exist considerable discrepancies between EFB and subsequently resected specimens with discrepancy rate of 27.1-44.5%. On the other hand, with low diagnostic efficacy of narrow band imaging (NBI) in novice endoscopists and endoscopists of community hospitals in China, not higher diagnostic accuracy of gastric cancerous lesions could be observed. Here, the investigators will conduct a study to develop and validate a diagnostic model based on narrow band imaging for early gastric cancerous lesions under endoscopic observation, trying to improve overall diagnostic efficacy for gastric cancerous lesions.
