Gastritis and its relation to gastric carcinogenesis.
There have been rapid changes in understanding of chronic gastritis recently, fueled largely by the recognition of gastric infection by Helicobacter pylori. This report reviews the newer classifications of chronic gastritis, and describes the characteristics of H pylori-positive and -negative patterns of gastritis. The relevance of H pylori infection to gastric carcinogenesis is also discussed.
