Table 4 Accuracy rates of endoscopic criteria for submucosal invasion according to macroscopic type.

Accuracy Sensitivity Specificity PPV
Large nodule (LST‐G type) 87% (249/287) 74% (14/19) 88% (235/268) 30% (14/47)
Pit pattern or tumour size or sclerous wall change (LST‐NG type) 77% (174/224) 88% (28/32) 76% (146/192) 38% (28/74)

LST‐G type, laterally spreading tumour granular type; LST‐NG type, laterally spreading tumour non‐granular type; PPV, positive predictive value.
