Multicenter StudyLong-term effect of Helicobacter pylori eradication on the development of metachronous gastric cancer after endoscopic resection of early gastric cancer.
A prospective, randomized trial proved that Helicobacter pylori eradication significantly reduces the incidence of metachronous gastric cancer during a 3-year follow-up. ⋯ H pylori eradication does not reduce the incidence of metachronous gastric cancer. H pylori eradication should be performed before the progression of gastric mucosal atrophy.
