title: [Chronic atrophic gastritis: morphological features and pepsin formation function].
abstract: The paper discusses a modern approach to chronic atrophic gastritis as a precancerous gastric condition. It deals with the role of Helicobacter pylori infection, development of disease, morphological changes taking place in gastric mucosa associated with chronic atrophic gastritis, and their importance for gastrocarcinogenesis. Recommendations are given on the strategies of management of precancerous gastric changes in mucosa as well as early prophylaxis of stomach cancer development from chronic atrophic gastritis associated with Helicobacter pylori infection.
