Introduction: the detection of gastric preneoplastic lesions (atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia) is important regarding the patient's risk evaluation for gastric cancer. The purpose of this study consists in the pit pattern evaluation, specific to the 3 premalignant lesions by magnifying endoscopy and chromeondoscopy. Material and methods: The study has started in January 2010 and it is still in progress. The patients have been examined by conventional endoscopy, respectively selected for magnifying endoscopy and chromoendoscopy. Partial results: I have obtained pit patterns specific to gastric mucosa in precancerous lesions. Partial conclusions: 1. Several pit patterns can be identified in the same patient. 2. The stomach can be mapped more exactly, this way being identified the area of modified mucosa; thus target biopsies can be done raising the chances for an accurate diagnosis. 3. It is a resource and time-consuming method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
