Abstract

The impact of gastric cancer on the Colombian population is alarming. It is essential to promote strategies that enhance early detection by leveraging available diagnostic tools. This approach can significantly improve patient outcomes. This article presents methods aimed at enhancing the quality of endoscopic procedures and providing key insights to facilitate accurate interpretation of endoscopic findings. The goal is to establish a solid foundation for the precise identification of malignant or precancerous lesions, ultimately leading to better clinical outcomes for this patient population.
