Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether endomicroscopy can improve the detection of Early Gastric Cancers (EGC).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Endoscopy is proved to be the best method to achieve early diagnosis of gastric cancer (GC). Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE), a new diagnostic modality, has been shown to be valuable in increasing the diagnostic yield of colorectal neoplasias, but it is not clear whether CLE is helpful to find out early gastric cancer (EGC).The aim of the study is to investigate the value of CLE in improving the detection of EGCs.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

1 confocal laser endomicroscopy

Targeted biopsies are performed when the lesion was considered as IM, dysplasia or carcinoma by confocal laser endomicroscopy.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Endomicroscope (Pentax, Tokyo, Japan)

Intervention Type DEVICE

A Pentax EC3870K endomicroscope which can produce conventional white light endoscopic images and confocal images at the same time with a optical slice thickness of 7 μm, a lateral resolution of 0.7 μm, a scanning depth of 0 to 250 μm, a pixel density of 1024×512 pixels (at an image acquisition rate of 1.6 frames/second),and a field of view of 475 μm×475 μm.

2 Conventional endoscopy

Routine biopsies are performed when the lesion was considered as IM, dysplasia or carcinoma by conventional endoscopy.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Gastroscopes (Pentax, Tokyo, Japan)

Intervention Type DEVICE

Conventional white light gastroscopes (Pentax EG-2940 gastroscopes)
