“…The World Health Organization defines adenomatous polyps of the stomach as noninvasive intramucosal neoplasia (36,37). Typically, adenomatous polyps grow from atrophic gastric mucosa, and high-grade dysplasia is identified in close association with a high proportion (40%-100%) of early gastric cancers (38). High-grade dysplasia is considered to be a direct precursor to invasive gastric cancer and is regarded as a malignancy by some pathologists (39).…”

“…Screening by endoscopy and biopsy is readily available but more studies are re quired to determine if this is worthwhile. Even if severe dysplasia is found at biopsy [88,107], a conservative approach seems in dicated as this can regress [108]. As gastric cancer is declining and as the prevalence is low in Western countries [109], mass screen ing even for high risk patients seems inap propriate [110].…”

“…Therefore, there is currently no specific treatment policy for GEDs, and the treatments vary from close endoscopic follow-up to endoscopic resection. However, GEDs have been previously demonstrated to represent a penultimate state of gastric carcinogenesis, and to be indicators of an increased risk of synchronous adenocarcinoma elsewhere in the stomach [9][10][11]. On the basis of these data, endoscopic resection has been recently recommended as the standard treatment for GEDs after prior histologic confirmation of dysplasia [12][13][14].…”
