Gastric precancerous conditions in patients with chronic dyspepsia

Abstract

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most lethal malignancies worldwide, though a decrease in incidence. Helicobacter pylori is positively associated with gastric precancerous conditions. Detection of these conditions, namely atrophic gastritis (AG) and intestinal metaplasia (IM), and their association with H pylori infection is important for further detection and reduction of overall cancer incidence.
