Strategies for primary prevention of gastric cancer in China / 中国实用内科杂志

ABSTRACT

Gastric cancer is a serious threat to human health. A large number of studies have found that Helicobacter pylori(Hp)infection is closely related to gastric cancer. Japan has reduced the incidence of gastric cancer by eradicating Hp, which is worth learning.This review shows the evidence that Hp infection increases the risk of gastric cancer, and draws on Japan's strategy of radically treating Hp to prevent gastric cancer. Based on China's national conditions, this review proposes the method to eradicate Hp and prevent gastric cancer in China.
