Resumen de Gastric Cancer Chemoprevention: The Current Evidence
Victoria P. Y. Tan, Benjamin C. Y. Wong
Chemoprevention may form the cornerstone in the management of gastric adenocarcinoma of the future. Helicobacter pylori eradication and aspirin and/or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug therapy have emerged as front-runner chemotherapeutic agents due to the putative pathogenic mechanisms that they address. Before a population-based chemopreventive strategy can be recommended on a large scale, randomized controlled trials with follow-up of more than 10 years of these 2 agents in populations at high gastric adenocarcinoma risk is urgently awaited.
