| Sumario: | The author focuses on screening for gastric cancer. She cites a study by F. Emura and colleagues published within the issue on campaigns in Bogotá, Colombia which used endoscopy with chromoscopy and narrow band imaging (NBI) to screen for premalignant lesions and cancer.

Further analysis of the study is presented. |
