| Abstract | BACKGROUND/AIMS Although some studies have shown improvement of precancerous lesions and a decrease of metachronous gastric cancer after eradication of H. pylori, this is still controversial. METHODOLOGY We identified 74 patients with early gastric cancer and who had their H. pylori eradicated after undergoing endoscopic resection between September, 2003 and September, 2010. The endoscopic biopsy specimens, campylobacter-like organism test and urea breath test were reviewed. Relapse of gastric cancer was assessed from medical records. RESULTS Among the 74 patients, 61 (82.4%) were successfully eradicated. The mean duration of follow-up was 27.2±18.7 months. H. pylori colonization, neutrophil infiltration, mononuclear cell infiltration and intestinal metaplasia decreased after eradication (all p<0.05). For all the patients, metachronous gastric cancer showed a decrease in the eradicated group, but this did not reach statistical significance (odds ratio: 0.36, 95% CI: 0.08-1.70, p=0.189). However, when restricted to those who were followed-up for more than 18 months, metachronous gastric cancer was significantly decreased in the eradicated group (odds ratio: 0.108, 95% CI: 0.016-0.726, p=0.035). CONCLUSIONS Eradication of H. pylori decreased precancerous lesions, and when following-up for more than 18 months, eradication also reduced metachronous gastric cancer. |
