Gastrointestinal Endoscopy

Gastric cancer is a leading cancer worldwide. While the prevalence of gastric cancer in United States is low, its incidence is high in certain subgroups of patients. Patients with gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) may have a 10-fold increased risk of gastric cancer than general population. There are no optimal surveillance guidelines although the ASGE recommends endoscopy for GIM in patients who are at increased risk of gastric cancer such as family history or ethnicity. We aimed to survey the practices of gastroenterologists who encounter this endoscopic pathology in daily practice.
