Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is an important risk factor for gastric cancer and is a recognized carcinogen. Although eradication of H. pylori reduces the incidence of gastric cancer, cases can still occur after eradication therapy. A number of such cases have been reported, and their early clinicopathological characteristics are becoming clearer. Some reports mention that endoscopic diagnosis of gastric cancer may be difficult after eradication therapy, because the cancer is covered by non-cancerous epithelium. However, there are few reports on advanced gastric cancer after eradication therapy, and its characteristics remain poorly understood. In view of the predicted increase in frequency of advanced gastric cancer after eradication therapy in the near future, it is important to be aware of these cases. In this report, we describe three cases of advanced gastric cancer detected during routine follow-up after eradication.
