Medical records, endoscopy, and pathology were reviewed retrospectively.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Over five years, 99 surveillance endoscopies were performed, of which 93 were chromo-dye enhanced. Sixty nine chromoendoscopies were normal. In 24 procedures, 1\u20136 pale areas\/stomach (size 2\u201310 mm) were detected post chromo-dye application (totalling 56 pale lesions). One biopsy was taken from each pale lesion: 23 lesions (41%) showed signet ring cell carcinoma (10 patients), 10 lesions (18%) gastritis (four patients), and 23 (41%) normal mucosa (10 patients). No chromo-dyes were used in six procedures with macroscopic lesions (two HDGC, four ulceration). Total gastrectomies from patients with carcinoma were macroscopically normal but pathological mapping showed multiple microscopic foci of early signet ring cell carcinoma. Correlation of chromoendoscopic and gastrectomy findings showed that congo red\/methylene blue detected carcinoma foci 4\u201310 mm in size but not foci &lt;4 mm.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold>\n                    The use of chromoendoscopy following normal white light gastroscopy facilitated detection of early gastric carcinoma foci not visible with white light gastroscopy. If these findings are validated in other HDGC kindred, chromogastroscopy represents an improved surveillance technique that can be safely considered alongside prophylactic gastrectomy.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/gut.2004.049171","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,3,7]],"date-time":"2005-03-07T20:35:21Z","timestamp":1110227721000},"page":"461-468","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":129,"title":["Chromoendoscopic surveillance in hereditary diffuse gastric cancer: an alternative to prophylactic gastrectomy?"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"54","author":[{"given":"D","family":"Shaw","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"V","family":"Blair","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Framp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P","family":"Harawira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M","family":"McLeod","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P","family":"Guilford","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S","family":"Parry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Charlton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"I","family":"Martin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,3,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025112109090885000_54.4.461.1","first-page":"287","volume":"63","year":"1964","journal-title":"N Z Med J"},{"key":"2025112109090885000_54.4.461.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/32918"},{"key":"2025112109090885000_54.4.461.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1098-1004(1999)14:3<249::AID-HUMU8>3.0.CO;2-9"},{"key":"2025112109090885000_54.4.461.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1097-0142(20010701)92:1<181::AID-CNCR1307>3.0.CO;2-J"},{"key":"2025112109090885000_54.4.461.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM200106213442504"},{"key":"2025112109090885000_54.4.461.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/msy.2001.117099"},{"key":"2025112109090885000_54.4.461.7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0899-9007(99)00123-9"},{"key":"2025112109090885000_54.4.461.8","first-page":"S85","volume":"17","year":"2002","journal-title":"J Gastroenterol Hepatol"},{"key":"2025112109090885000_54.4.461.9","first-page":"297","volume":"4","year":"1994","journal-title":"Gastroenterol Clin North Am"},{"key":"2025112109090885000_54.4.461.10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1097-0142(19860915)58:6<1333::AID-CNCR2820580625>3.0.CO;2-B"},{"key":"2025112109090885000_54.4.461.11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1097-0142(19821215)50:12<2956::AID-CNCR2820501242>3.0.CO;2-A"},{"key":"2025112109090885000_54.4.461.12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1097-0142(197901)43:1<317::AID-CNCR2820430146>3.0.CO;2-F"},{"key":"2025112109090885000_54.4.461.13","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"18","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0028-1098533","volume":"7","year":"1975","journal-title":"Endoscopy"},{"key":"2025112109090885000_54.4.461.14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/gut.2002.010447"},{"key":"2025112109090885000_54.4.461.15","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"696","DOI":"10.1016\/S0016-5107(92)70567-7","volume":"38","year":"1992","journal-title":"Gastrointest Endosc"},{"key":"2025112109090885000_54.4.461.16","unstructured":"Japanese Research Society for Gastric Cancer.
