Objective:
conventional forceps biopsy (CFB) is the most popular way to screen for gastric epithelial neoplasia (GEN). Our study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy between conventional forceps biopsy and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).
Methods:
105 patients diagnosed GEN finally undertook ESD in our hospital were enrolled. We retrospectively assessed the characteristics of pathological results of CFB and ESD.
Results:
The overall pathologic concordance rate between the CFB and ESD specimens was 68.57%. 55 cases of CFB maintained low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (LGIN) under ESD,18 cases (23.1%) diagnosis for high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGIN), 5 cases (6.4%) diagnosis for cancer. Moreover, 10 cases of CFB maintained HGIN under ESD. Lesions with surface hyperemia (44.4% vs. 27.54%) or surface ulcer (57.14% vs.26.76%) were more likely to cancerate (P<0.05).
Conclusion:
endoscopic biopsy in the diagnosis of low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, may exist or progression to high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, some may have cancer, should take active treatment measures.

In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a...
