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.

CONTEXT: There is some evidence that Helicobacter pylori correlates with distal gastric cancer genesis. However, few studies analyzed the survival related to H. pylori infection. OBJECTIVE: To correlate gastric cancer survival and H. pylori infection. METHODS: Sixty-eight patients with distal gastric cancer that underwent subtotal gastrectomy were studied. Minimal follow-up was 1 month. H. pylori infection was confirmed by biopsy. RESULTS: Thirty-four patients (19 males (55.9%), mean age 60.9 ± 14.03, range 33-82 years) were H. pylori positive. Thirty-four patients (16 males (47.1%), mean age 57.9 ± 13.97, range 27-85 years) were H. pylori negative. Groups were comparable in regards to age (P = 0.4), gender (P = 0.5), stage [T (P = 0.2), N (P = 0.6) and M (P = 0.9)]. Survival was not different when groups were compared [P = 0.1616 (hazard ratio 0.6834, 95% CI 0.4009 to 1.1647)]. CONCLUSIONS: H. pylori infection does not affect distal gastric cancer survival.

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.
