Use radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for Gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) treatment.
Gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) is a pre-malignant lesion. Currently, there is no standard treatment for this condition, thus the patients with GIM need surveillance endoscopy every 1-3 years, regarding to the severity and extension of lesion. However, the protocol for GIM surveillance is uncertain and need high cost.
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is used for Barrett's esophagus (BE; pre-malignant lesion of esophageal adenoCA) treatment as a standard treatment. The investigators hypothesized that RFA may effective in GIM treatment.
The investigators will random GIM participants to have the RFA treatment only one site of the stomach (left or right). At the first session, the investigators will biopsy at suspected GIM lesions to confirm the diagnosis and severity of GIM. Two months later, The investigators will apply RFA to all GIM lesions at the assigned location and then every 2 months for 3 sessions or until no GIM lesion seen by endoscopy. The final endoscopy will be done at 1 year follow-up and biopsy will be performed to assess the efficacy of RFA compare to no treatment.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| RFA | Experimental | The assigned location will be treated with RFA at all lesion. |
|
| Control | No Intervention | No treatment will not be performed at this location. However, if endoscopist detects any suspicious lesion during the scheduled endoscopy, the biopsy will be done and standard treatment will be performed accordingly. |

| Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) | Device | Radiofrequency ablation is a device that can generate the heat from radiofrequency for tissue ablation. RFA is a standard treatment for Barrett' esophagus and high grade dysplasia in esophagus. |

Study in only GIM patients but will divide the stomach into 2 sites (left and right) to random for RFA treatment.

The endoscopist who do the final endoscopy for assessing the efficacy of RFA will be blinded to the previous assigned location of RFA treatment.
