Factors associated with precancerous stomach lesions and progresion: A 7-year multi-center prospective cohort study on the low incidence of gastric cancer in central Saudi Arabia
The incidence of GC is low in central SA, but screening for PSLs among participants with HSgFOBT+ and negative colonoscopy findings may contribute to the early detection and subsequent treatment of GC. HP eradication, not smoking, normal body weight, and adhering to a healthy diet seem to be potential factors associated with the development of PSLs. Further studies are needed to search if such interventions would decrease the incidence of PSLs and progression to early GC.
