Title: Endoscopic techniques in the diagnosis of gastric adenocarcinoma
Abstract: At endoscopic examination of 7 exophytic, 20 infiltrative, and 11 ulcerating gastric carcinomas, correct visual diagnosis was made in 82%. Guided biopsy and brushing cytology together yielded a positive pathologic diagnosis in 84%. When endoscopic appearance, biopsy, and cytology were collated, a correct diagnosis was achieved in 97% of cases. Infiltrative and ulcerated lesions required the most assiduous study.
