Gastric cancer risk after Helicobacter pylori eradication in gastritis and peptic ulcer: a retrospective cohort study in Japan
Patients with H. pylori-associated gastritis and gastric ulcer had a higher risk of gastric cancer than patients with duodenal ulcer, indicating that gastric atrophy remains a risk factor after H. pylori eradication therapy. Careful monitoring, such as by endoscopic examination, is required after successful eradication of H. pylori in patients at higher risk.
