Prevalence and endoscopic-histological correlation of premalignant gastric lesions at a university hospital in Uruguay

The endoscopic-histological correlation of both CAG and IM was low, raising the need for biopsy for diagnosis in all cases, regardless of HD-WLE findings. Although prevalence of gastric pre-neoplastic conditions in this group of Uruguayan patients was comparable to those described in countries with a high incidence of GC, a low proportion of high-risk stages (III and IV) was identified.
