title: When Is Endoscopic Follow-up Appropriate After Helicobacter pylori Eradication Therapy?
abstract: The effect of Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment needs confirmation in patients with persistent symptoms and in those with complicated peptic ulcer. Endoscopic surveillance after eradication is needed in patients with advanced premalignant gastric lesions, previous early gastric cancer, gastric MALT lymphoma, and in those with a hereditary gastric cancer risk.
