Confocal Endomicroscopy for a Phenotypic Diagnosis of Gastric Cancers

Endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of tumors

To evaluate the phenotypic expression of gastric carcinomas, the appearance of the brush border, goblet cells, and gastric foveolar epithelium were investigated with immunohistochemical staining.…”
