How to adjust endoscopic findings to histopathological findings of the stomach: a 'histopathology-oriented' correspondence method helps to understand endoscopic findings

摘要

Background Endoscopic findings have now become nearly as detailed as histopathological findings. Thus, one-to-one correspondence and precise feedback of histopathological findings is very desirable but may be very difficult to accomplish. We describe a systematic process called the Kyoto One-to-One Correspondence Method (the KOTO Method) that allows detailed adjustments of endoscopic findings to match histopathological findings.
