Treating H. pylori gastritis before and<br />
after diagnosis of gastric cancer<br />
• H. pylori gastritis is treated with antibiotics<br />
• H. pylori eradication reduced the incidence of gastric<br />
cancer in patients without atrophy or IM, suggesting<br />
that eradication may contribute to preventing<br />
progression to gastric cancer<br />
– Wong et al. JAMA 291, 187-94, 2004<br />
• Recent studies recommend prophylactic H. pylori<br />
eradication after resection of early gastric cancer to<br />
reduce the risk of carcinoma in the remnant stomach<br />
