Usefulness and safety of endoscopic treatment for nonampullary duodenal adenoma and adenocarcinoma.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND AIM:Pepsinogen (PG) method is widely used to identify high risk groups of gastric cancer. It is very useful before Helicobacter pylori eradication, but after eradication the method becomes useless because the PGI, PGII, PGI/II ratios change. Therefore, we aimed to identify a high risk group for gastric c...
