Miyaokaa M, Yaoa K, Tanabe H, et al. - In this study, the utility of magnifying endoscopy using vessel plus surface classification system for making a diagnosis of early gastric cancer after H. pylori eradication was ascertained. Researchers explored the utility of the markers of the vessel plus surface classification system for diagnosing gastric cancer using magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging for gastric cancer detected after H. pylori eradication (H. pylori -eradicated group) vs. H. pylori -positive gastric cancer (H. pylori -positive group). In this study, 85 lesions were included. The data demonstrate that the microvascular pattern is more beneficial than the microsurface pattern as a diagnostic marker in cases of gastric cancer detected after H. pylori eradication.
