Tu1562 NARROWBAND IMAGING VERSUS WHITE LIGHT ENDOSCOPY IN DETECTION OF GASTRIC INTESTINAL METAPLASIA: A META-ANALYSIS AND SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Gastric cancer is the 6th leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) is a premalignant condition that can lead to gastric adenocarcinoma. However, GIM continues to be challenging to diagnose, and random gastric biopsies can often miss GIM. Narrowband imaging (NBI) has shown potential in the detection of GIM, but pooled estimates are not known compared to standard white light endoscopy (WLE).
