Overview
Effective measures for the primary prevention of stomach cancer include smoking cessation, helicobacter pylori infection eradication, and having a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
Primary prevention
H.pylori eradication
- Recent meta-analyses have each found that the incidence of metachronous gastric cancer following the endoscopic resection of a gastric neoplasm was reduced by the eradication of H. pylori infection ( 31–33 ).
- Most recently, a meta-analysis comprising 24 studies (22 out of which were conducted in Asia) confirmed a lower rate of metachronous EGC following treatment of H. pylori infection; the incidence rate ratio was 0.54 (95% CI 0.46–0.65) ( 34 ).
