Tu1568 PROSPECTIVE SURVEY COMPARISON OF ENDOSCOPIC IMAGE QUALITY BETWEEN HD-WHITE LIGHT ENDOSCOPY (HD-WLE) VS. GASTROSCOPE PROTOTYPE (GP): IMPLICATIONS FOR COST-EFFECTIVE GASTRIC CANCER SCREENING IN PREVALENT REGIONS
In some countries with high prevalence of gastric cancer, endoscopic screening has demonstrated benefit from early diagnosis. Therapeutic interventions in endoscopic mucosal resection and submucosal dissection are increasingly used to treat early gastric neoplasia suggesting possible benefit to early detection. However, in other regions with a high prevalence of gastric cancer there are no standardized upper esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) screening programs.
