Abstract
Background and Aims
Endoscopic surveillance is recommended in patients with Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer (HDGC) that want to delay or refuse surgery. Since early signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) can be inconspicuous, current surveillance endoscopy protocol entails 30 random biopsies which are time-consuming. This study aimed to compare single and double-bite techniques in HDGC surveillance.
