Core Tip
Core Tip: Early diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer (GC) can benefit from the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) into endoscopic diagnostics of the upper digestive tract. AI improves endoscopic diagnosis because it overcomes the difficulty of diagnosis linked to the experience of the endoscopist. Improving endoscopic diagnosis will allow for better treatment, which is more likely to be curative, with submucosal endoscopic dissection or surgery. However, because research advances in this area continue to be rapid, prospective multicenter studies are needed on the application of AI to the diagnosis of early GC.
