Case description

Chromoendoscopy using methylene blue. Chromoendoscopy involves the topical application of stains or dyes to improve mucosal visualization during endoscopy. stain. Although collagen synthesis is increased in gastric carcinoma tissues irrespective of the amount of the stroma, it is suggested that decreased collagenase activities and increased expression of TIMP-1 would result in collagen deposition in scirrhous gastric carcinoma tissue and the response might actually benefit the invasion of tumor cells.
