It was not until the third decade of this century, however, that investigators began statistical studies of the incidence of gastric malignancy and premalignant lesions in large series of pernicious anemia cases. More recently, Rigler, Kaplan and Fink2found that as high as 8 per cent of their pernicious anemia patients developed gastric carcinoma, and an additional 7 per cent had gastric polyps, making a total incidence of 15 per cent of their series with malignant or premalignant gastric lesions....Bibliography1.
