ObjectivesIn the past, magnifying endoscopy in the stomach was considered difficult. The wide lumen of the stomach makes it difficult to obtain a very close view; movement due to peristalsis, aortic pulsation, and respiration, disturbs focusing; and gastric mucus often impairs magnifying observation. More importantly, the optical resolution of endoscopes was insufficient for clear visualization of the mucosal surface and blood vessels, and the principles and guidelines for understanding magnified endoscopic findings had not been established [1]. In recent years, however, progress in magnifying endoscopy has enabled the endoscopist to visualize both the microvascular architecture and the microsurface structure within superficial gastric lesions without the use of contrast material [1]. Herein we describe the clinical application of magnifying endoscopy to the detection and delineation of early gastric cancer.
