Özet
OBJECTIVE: A strong correlation exists between atrophic gastritis and the intestinal type of gastric carcinoma. Duodenal ulcer disease characteristically has an antral predominant gastritis and a lower risk for gastric cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the extent and distribution of intestinal metaplasia in duodenal ulcer in countries differing in gastric cancer incidence.
