Abstract:

Gastric cancer remains a major public health issue. It is the sixth most common oncological disease and the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. More than one million new cases of gastric cancer are diagnosed each year. The treatment results and prognosis of gastric cancer depending on the stage of the disease: the 5-year survival rate of patients with gastric cancer is 25—30%, but it reaches 95% in patients with early gastric cancer (T1) after surgery. Unfortunately, more than 40% of gastric cancer cases are diagnosed at stage IV. Early gastric cancer is diagnosed only in 5—10% of patients in Europe, the USA, and Russia while in Japan this figure reaches 50%. Of all diagnostic methods, gastroscopy is the most effective in diagnosing precancerous lesions and early cancer. In this regard, the quality of endoscopy remains the focus of attention for oncologists, gastroenterologists, and endoscopists. Novel endoscopic technologies such as magnifying endoscopy, chromoendoscopy, and narrow-band imaging allow for the detection of precancerous lesions and early cancer. A precise diagnostic algorithm for novel techniques makes focal gastric mucosa lesions detection even more efficient. Algorithm improvement by including new diagnostic techniques allows for accurate diagnosis of precancerous lesions and early gastric cancer in patients on the surveillance program.
