What is Endoscopic Removal of Mucus by Standard Biopsy Forceps in a Patient with Gastric Cancer about?

To the Editor, During Narrow Band Imaging (ME-NBI)mucosal visibility is essential, while mucus often disturb observation. Although, administration of pronase before esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) improves the quality of ME-NBI images, however, dense mucus sometimes can still be seen. We herein report a novel technique to remove the dense mucus for ME-NBI to assess the histology endoscopically before endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). A 67-year-old man complained of epigastric pain received esophagogastroduodenoscopy and was pathologically diagnosed with gastric adenocarcinoma by biopsies. The patient underwent magnifying endoscopy for further evaluation. The lesion was located in the little curve of the gastric antrum. The irregular Contents lists available at ScienceDirect
