The role of <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> (<i>H. pylori</i>) eradication in patients undergoing gastrectomy for gastric cancer is unclear. Although European and Asian guidelines strongly recommend <i>H. pylori</i> eradication in patients who undergo endoscopic resection for early gastric cancer, these guidelines do not specify the tests useful for diagnosing <i>H. pylori</i> infection, the optimal timing and appropriate eradication regimens, and follow-up strategies in patients undergoing gastrectomy for gastric cancer. This review aims to update the guidelines for the diagnosis and management of <i>H. pylori</i> infection in patients undergoing gastrectomy for gastric cancer. We have focused on the following issues: 1) diagnostic tests for <i>H. pylori</i> infection in the remnant stomach, 2) optimal timing and regimen for <i>H. pylori</i> eradication, and 3) role of <i>H. pylori</i> eradication in reducing the risk of metachronous gastric cancer in the remnant stomach.

Abstract Background. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is an important risk factor for developing gastric cancer. However, even after H. pylori eradication, early gastric cancer (EGC) can develop. We elucidated the characteristics of EGCs diagnosed after H. pylori eradication. Methods. Thirty-six EGCs in 32 patients diagnosed after H. pylori eradication were defined as the eradication group (H. pylori-EG). The clinicopathological and endoscopic features were compared with those of 156 EGCs in 140 patients in the H. pylori-positive group (H. pylori-PG). Twenty-nine EGC lesions in the H. pylori-EG were further divided into two subgroups: the first included six lesions of none to mild atrophic mucosa around the EGC, and the second included 23 lesions of moderate to severe atrophic mucosa around the EGC. We compared them between the two subgroups. Results. Endoscopic features of EGCs in the H. pylori-EG were characterized as small (P = 0.049) and of the depressed type (P = 0.022) compared with those in the H. pylori-PG. EGCs in the H. pylori-EG were detected on the upper region of the stomach more frequently than those in the H. pylori-PG (P = 0.002). As for submucosal ECGs in the H. pylori-EG, it was more likely to be seen in the none to mild atrophic mucosa subgroup compared to the moderate to severe atrophic gastric mucosa subgroup (P = 0.003). Conclusions. EGCs after H. pylori eradication were characterized as small and of the depressed type. Submucosal invasive EGCs developed more frequently in the none to mild atrophic mucosa after H. pylori eradication. Therefore, careful patient follow-up is important after H. pylori eradication.

As for submucosal ECGs in the H. pylori-EG, it was more likely to be seen in the mild atrophic mucosa subgroup (4/6, 67%) compared to the moderate to severe atrophic gastric mucosa subgroup (1/23, 4%) (P = 0.003).Conclusions: EGCs after H. pylori eradication were characterized as small and of the depressed type. Submucosal invasive EGCs developed more frequently in the none to mild atrophic mucosa after H. pylori eradication. Therefore, careful patient follow-up is important after H. pylori eradication.

Abstract Background and aims Eradication of Helicobacter pylori reduces the risk of gastric cancer. In this study, we investigated the risk beyond 10 years after eradication of H. pylori. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 2737 patients who had yearly endoscopic follow-up after cure of H. pylori infection. For comparison of gastric cancer risk in the second decade of follow-up with that in the first decade, we calculated standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) by dividing the number of observed cases of gastric cancer in the second decade of follow-up by that of expected cases which was estimated using the incidence rate ratio of age in the first decade. Results During the follow-up for as long as 21.4 years (mean 7.1 years), gastric cancer developed in 68 patients (0.35% per year). The SIRs for diffuse-type gastric cancer was infinity (0 expected case and 4 observed cases) in patients with mild gastric mucosal atrophy and 10.9 (95% confidence interval 4.53–26.1) with moderate atrophy, whereas no significant increase of SIRs was observed in intestinal-type cancer regardless of the grade of baseline gastric atrophy or in diffuse-type cancer in patients with severe atrophy even though who had the highest risk. Conclusions The longer the follow-up, the greater the risk of developing diffuse-type gastric cancer becomes in patients with mild-to-moderate gastric atrophy at baseline. Endoscopic surveillance should be continued beyond 10 years after cure of H. pylori irrespective of the severity of gastric atrophy.
