From the 10th to 12th of May, 2013, I presided over the 85th Congress of the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society at the Kyoto International Conference Center. Two main themes in gastritis diagnosis were discussed at this meeting. One was how to clarify the findings used to diagnose H. pylori-infected gastritis in standard endoscopic diagnostics in Japan while striving for greater objectivity and higher accuracy in endoscopic findings, as well as in histopathological findings based on the Updated Sydney System. The other topic was to develop a method for grading gastritis that could evaluate a risk of gastric cancer.

目次

Chapter 1 History of the Classification of Gastritis

Chapter 2 Endoscopic Findings of Gastritis
1. Introduction
