Biopsy Strategies for Endoscopic Surveillance of Pre‐malignant Gastric Lesions

Background:  Endoscopic surveillance of pre‐malignant gastric lesions may add to gastric cancer prevention. However, the appropriate biopsy regimen for optimal detection of the most advanced lesions remains to be determined. Therefore, we evaluated the yield of endoscopic surveillance by standardized and targeted biopsy protocols.
