PTU-144 When Are Gastric Ulcers Malignant? Predictors Of Benign Disease

Abstract

findings. This study suggests that, where biopsy site details were provided, only 7.2% of patients were adequately biopsied. Remaining cases should have repeat biopsies to decide on surveillance. "Extensive metaplasia" refers to a wide intragastric distribution of IM to include the antrum and corpus. We identified discrepant use of nomenclature in pathology reporting in 15.4%. Helicobacter pylori was associated in 11.4%, where ESGE advocates its eradication. This study reveals further work is needed to risk stratify and survey this important pre-cancerous condition.
