Comparison of endoscopic gastritis based on Kyoto classification between diffuse and intestinal gastric cancer

Figure 2 Receiver operating characteristic curve for predicting intestinal-type gastric cancer. Receiver operating characteristics curve was based on the Lauren predictive background score in 132 patients with diffuse- or intestinal-type gastric cancer according to Lauren classification. The Lauren predictive background score was defined as a sum of the following points: +2 points for an age of 65 years or older, +1 point for male sex, +1 point for endoscopic intestinal metaplasia, and -1 point for endoscopic enlarged folds.
