This cohort study aims to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of Hybrid APC for treatment of gastric low grade intramucosal neoplasia.
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.

RECRUITINGComplete ablation of gastric low grade intraepithelial 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.
