Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a well-known gastrointestinal microorganism that causes chronic gastritis and peptic ulcers, which may evolve into gastric cancer. Previous studies have shown that H. pylori eradication inhibits the development of primary and metachronous gastric cancer. Therefore, the Kyoto global consensus recommends eradication therapy for both symptomatic and asymptomatic H. pylori-infected patients. Gastric cancer is detected even in patients after successful H. pylori eradication. Recent studies have reported the role of endoscopy in detection of primary gastric cancers after H. pylori eradication. Development of gastric cancer may be observed several months or even >10 years after successful H. pylori eradication. Therefore, identification of high-risk patients in whom extensive surveillance may prove beneficial represents a clinical dilemma. In this review, the characteristics of gastric cancer patients who have undergone successful H. pylori-eradication therapy are summarized.

Gastric subepithelial lesions (SELs) are often detected incidentally during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Although most SELs are benign, endoscopic differentiation between malignant and benign lesions is important. Endoscopy is useful to determine the location, color, consistency, mobility, surface characteristics, and approximate size of gastric SELs. EUS can distinguish between intraluminal lesions and extraluminal compression and confirm the exact size, layer of origin, echogenicity, and homogeneity of SELs. Accurate understanding of the endoscopic and EUS features of gastric SELs is useful to effectively design an appropriate management plan and thereby minimize the rate of unnecessary surveillance or overtreatment.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is associated with various gastrointestinal disorders, such as gastritis, peptic ulcers, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, and gastric cancer. Therefore, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, a specialized cancer agency of the World Health Organization, categorizes H. pylori as a definite gastric carcinogen (group I). H. pylori eradication is a major challenge both medically and socioeconomically in countries with high prevalence of H. pylori and gastric cancer. However, the efficacy of first-line clarithromycin-containing triple therapy and second-line bismuth-containing quadruple therapy continues to decline worldwide including in Korea. The role of salvage therapy is being recognized globally; however, the exact salvage therapy which is useful in daily clinical practice remains unestablished. In this review, factors associated with eradication failure will be discussed. Furthermore, eradication regimens that may be useful as salvage therapies based on Korean guidelines, Maastricht VI/Florence consensus report and previous research are summarized.

Indefinite-for-neoplasia is an expression used to describe lesions in which carcinoma or dysplasia cannot be clearly and conclusively established via biopsy. Gastric indefinite-for-neoplasia may represent a reactive change secondary to inflammation in some patients; however, some lesions are eventually diagnosed as dysplasia or carcinoma. Follow-up endoscopic biopsy is commonly performed in patients with gastric indefinite-for-neoplasia lesions. Nonetheless, patients may undergo resection based on a high index of clinical suspicion for dysplasia or carcinoma based on endoscopic findings. Accurate target biopsies of the lesion and effective communication with pathologists are required to improve diagnostic accuracy and avoid unnecessary re-examinations. It is important to establish endoscopic findings useful in differentiating lesions that require resection. In this review, we describe the approach for the management of indefinite-for-neoplasia lesions detected on gastric mucosal biopsy and the characteristics of lesions that require resection.
