Characteristic analysis of early gastric cancer after Helicobacter pylori eradication: a multicenter retrospective propensity score-matched study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is recognized as a type I carcinogen in gastric cancer (GC). However, GC still occurs after H. pylori eradication, and its diagnosis is more complicated. This study aimed to summarize the characteristics of early GC (EGC) after H. pylori eradication to help accurately identify EGC and avoid missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.

Methods

A total of 81 patients of EGC after H. pylori eradication (Hp-eradicated group), resected by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), and 105 cases of H. pylori infection-related EGC (control group) were assessed. After propensity-score matching, the clinical characteristics, endoscopic manifestations, and histopathological features of the 62 matched patients in e
