tests to identify subjects at high risk for gastric cancer. Subjects
with severe gastric atrophy, in whom H pylori has disappeared
and who are therefore serologically negative for H pylori, are at
a particularly high risk.
The combination of H pylori infection and atrophic gastritis
determined by serological examination is suitable for the
identi
fication of subjects with a high risk of gastric cancer.
Statement 15: Risk stratification of patients with premalignant gastric conditions is
useful and should be based on the severity and distribution of lesions.
Evidence level: 2b
Grade of recommendation: B
Patients with preneoplastic changes of the gastric mucosa are
at an increased risk of developing gastric cancer.
274
H pylori
eradication treatment has the potential to prevent gastric cancer.
However, recent reports after long-term follow-up have
suggested that H pylori eradication does not prevent gastric
cancer development in all infected patients, especially in those
who have preneoplastic changes of the gastric mucosa before
eradication treatment is given.
45
Therefore, risk strati
fication of
patients with premalignant gastric conditions is useful and
should be based on the severity and distribution of lesions.
The gastritis OLGA-staging conveys useful information on
the potential clinicopathological outcome of the gastritisdin
particular, the likelihood of progression to gastric cancer. The
adoption of this system is therefore useful for patient manage-
ment. According to OLGA-staging and H pylori status, patients
with gastritis can be con
fidently stratified and managed
according to their cancer risk. This has been shown for separate
populations with different gastric cancer risk.
290e292
More
recently the OLGIM histological staging has been shown to be
of similar value. In this histological system IM is used as the
preneoplastic marker instead of atrophy.
293
Statement 16: H pylori eradication to prevent gastric cancer should be considered in
the following:
first-degree relatives of family members with a diagnosis of gastric cancer;
patients with previous gastric neoplasia already treated by endoscopic or subtotal
gastric resection;
patients with a risk of gastritis: severe pan-gastritis, corpus-predominant gastritis,
severe atrophy;
patients with chronic gastric acid inhibition for more than 1 year;
patients with strong environmental risk factors for gastric cancer (heavy smoking, high
exposure to dust, coal, quartz, cement and/or work in quarries);
H pylori-positive patients with a fear of gastric cancer.
Evidence level: 1a to 4
Grade of recommendation: A
H pylori eradication to prevent gastric cancer should be
undertaken in patients at high risk. A
first-degree relative of a
family member with a diagnosis of gastric cancer is at high
risk.
294
First- degree relatives have a two to three times increased
risk of developing gastric cancer.
295e300
If more than one
first-
degree relative has contracted gastric cancer the risk for others is
increased by a factor of 10. Patients with the CDH-1 mutation
should be offered genetic consultation and prophylactic
gastrectomy.
301e307
There is an absolute indication for eradication treatment in
patients at high risk, but they also require follow-up. Patients
who have had a previous gastric operation, prior gastric
neoplasia (MALT lymphoma, adenoma, cancer), pan-gastritis,
corpus-dominant gastritis and in conjunction with IM and
atrophy are all at high risk.
308e311
Patients who have been receiving acid inhibition for
>1 year
and those who will be given long-term acid inhibition for
>1 year are at increased risk.
312
Patients exposed to one or more
strong environmental risk factors for gastric cancer such as
heavy smoking, a high exposure to dust, coal, quartz, cement
and/or work in quarries and those who live in a geographical
area with a high incidence of gastric cancer should undergo
eradication treatment.
172 313 314
Finally, H pylori-positive patients with fear of gastric cancer
should receive eradication treatment.
Statement 17: H pylori eradication to prevent gastric cancer should be undertaken in
populations at high risk.
Evidence level: 1c
Grade of recommendation: A
H pylori infection is a necessary but not sufficient cause for
gastric cancer. Recent H pylori guidelines recommend population
screening and treatment for H pylori in high-risk regions.
172
This
strategy would be cost-effective where gastric cancer rates are
high and most effective before the development of gastric
atrophy. H pylori eradication for gastric cancer prevention should
be undertaken in populations at high risk.
Statement 18: Factors to be considered for prevention strategies include:
the incidence of gastric cancer in the community to be targeted;
likely future trends in cancer incidence if intervention is not employed;
the availability of primary care facilities and other logistics;
the likely compliance of the chosen population;
the availability of funding;
the possibility of retesting and re-treatment in the event of eradication failure.
Evidence level: not quotable
Grade of recommendation: A
Several factors should be considered when identifying popu-
lations in whom a prevention strategy is planned. The incidence
of gastric cancer in the community to be targeted is relevant.
199
The likely future trends in the incidence of gastric cancer if
intervention is not provided must be considered and the general
availability of primary care facilities and other logistics such as
funding are also important.
315e317
The likely compliance of the target population is another factor
to be taken into consideration. Reinfection with H pylori after
eradication is rare in developed countries but more common in
developing countries at around 13%. So the need for retesting and
re-treatment in the event of eradication failure or reinfection must
be kept in mind when considering a preventive strategy.
318
Statement 19: The antibiotic combination should be chosen according to local H pylori
antibiotic resistance patterns.
Evidence level: 2b
Grade of recommendation: B
Antibiotic resistance is the most important factor responsible
for the falling success rate of H pylori eradication treatment.
319 320
Local surveillance of H pylori antibiotic resistance is mandatory
and the antibiotic combination for H pylori eradication treat-
ment should be chosen according to the local resistance patterns.
A wider range of effective treatments is urgently required.
Statement 20: Vaccination would be the best option for eliminating H pylori infection in
the population. A major effort to develop a vaccine should be made.
Evidence level: 4
Grade of recommendation: A
In 2010, the worldwide prevalence of H pylori infection ranged
between 7% and 87%. The average prevalence in Europe is
around 30%, a high immigration background needs to be taken
into account.
321
A vaccination strategy would be the best option
for eliminating H pylori infection in the population.
322
A vaccine

Guidelines
against H pylori is feasible in animals both for prevention and
treatment. Its potential in humans requires further research.
323 324
A major effort should be made to develop a vaccine against H
pylori in humans.
Statement 21: (a) Preneoplastic high-risk conditions require endoscopic follow-up.
(b) Prospective studies are needed to determine the correct timing of follow-up.
Evidence level: 2c
Grade of recommendation: A
Patients
with
high-risk
conditions
such
as
atrophic
gastritis and IM are at an increased risk of developing gastric
cancer.
17 223 325
Whether these lesions merit endoscopic follow-up and the
optimal timing for this, require evaluation in prospective
studies.
<
Preneoplastic conditions to be considered for endoscopic
follow-up
– when there is a firm diagnosis of pernicious anaemia with
histological con
firmation of type A autoimmune atrophic
gastritis;
– if there are histological and/or serological signs of subtotal
or total atrophic gastritis with hypo- or achlorhydria;
– if there has been a diagnosis/removal of gastric adenoma(s).
<
Regular follow-up should be considered in moderate to severe
atrophy at 2e3 years intervals and 3e6 month intervals
where there is dysplasia.
Key aspects related to gastric cancer prevention strategies
involving H pylori are listed in table 4.
