Gastric Low Grade Intraepithelial Neoplasia
Conditions
Keywords
Gastric low grade intraepithelial neoplasia, Hybrid APC, Endoscopic Ablation
Brief summary
This cohort study aims to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of Hybrid APC for treatment of gastric low grade intramucosal neoplasia.
Detailed description
This cohort study aims to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of Hybrid APC for treatment of gastric low grade intramucosal neoplasia. Successful ablation is defined as no evidence of local recurrence at 12 months after HybridAPC upon follow up endoscopy. This is defined as absence of LGIN, HGIN and cancer in biopsies obtained at all locations during followup endoscopy.
Interventions
Argon Plasma Coagulation after water injection for local ablation
