Antral-Type Mucosa in The Gastric Incisura, Body, and Fundus (Antralization): A Link BetweenHelicobacter PyloriInfection and Intestinal Metaplasia?
OBJECTIVES: Helicobacter pylori is a carcinogen; gastric carcinoma involves a multistep
process from chronic gastritis to atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, and dysplasia. The aims of
this study were to determine the types of mucosa at different gastric sites in H. pylori-infected
and uninfected patients, and whether the presence of antral-type mucosa in the incisura,
body, and fundus is associated with gastric atrophy and intestinal metaplasia. METHODS:
Two hundred and sixty-eight patients with dyspepsia were enrolled. Eight biopsies (ie …
