Apostolos Pappas et al. Single-bite versus double-bite technique for mapping biopsies during endoscopic surveillance for hereditary diffuse gastric cancer: a single-center, randomized trial.

The single-bite and double-bite techniques for detecting early signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) were compared in patients with hereditary diffuse gastric cancer. The double-bite technique was found to be faster than the single-bite technique, with similar biopsy quality and diagnostic yield for SRCC between both groups.
