Endoscopic observation method and composition for improving diagnostic performance involving applying useful white opaque substance to diagnosis of gastric epithelial tumors (adenoma or gastric cancer)

摘要

To develop a clinically useful composition and an endoscopic observation method that utilizes WOS properties. The composition for improving diagnostic performance, containing lipids as a component is characterized in that, by administering or loading said composition orally, by intubation or via an endoscope, the lipids are absorbed by gastric tumors, facilitating the detection of tumors and qualitative diagnoses by endoscope. Tumors are thus whitened by administering or loading this composition for improving diagnostic performance prior to endoscopic observation, making it easier to discover and qualitatively diagnose tumors by endoscopic observation.
