Core Tip
Core Tip: Development of a simple and easy approach to detect recurrence of early gastric cancer (EGC) treated with endoscopic mucosal exfoliation is imperative to effective clinical therapy. Here, we report the feasibility of multi-slice spiral computed tomography (CT), a quick and convenient auxiliary examination with sensitivity and specificity values of 44.22% and 43.86%, respectively, in evaluating arterial and venous CT values for recurrent EGC. Area under the curve value of arterial and venous CT values for recurrent EGC respectively were 0.55 and 0.60, indicating that enhanced CT can accurately predict EGC, although with low accuracy.
