| Description | Endoscopic technologies have been continuously advancing throughout the years to facilitate improvement in the detection and diagnosis of gastric lesions. With the development of different endoscopic diagnostic modalities for EGC, several classifications have been advocated for the evaluation of gastric lesions, aiming for an early detection and diagnosis. Sufficient knowledge on the appearance of EGC on white light endoscopy is fundamental for early detection and management. On the other hand, those superficial EGC with subtle morphological changes that are challenging to be detected with white light endoscopy may now be clearly defined by means of image-enhanced endoscopy (IEE). By combining magnifying endoscopy and IEE, irregularities in the surface structures can be evaluated and highlighted, leading to improvements in EGC diagnostic accuracy. The main scope of this review article is to offer a closer look at the different classifications of EGC based on several endoscopic diagnostic modalities, as well as to introduce readers to newer and novel classifications, specifically developed for the stomach, for the assessment and diagnosis of gastric lesions. |
