Core Tip

Core Tip: Prevention of gastric cancer is an actual challenge of modern oncology. Its implementation is possible by means of serological screening of atrophic gastritis with accurate morphological diagnostics within the framework of the Kyoto classification of gastritis. If the Kyoto classification of gastritis is supplemented with the updated classification of Kimura-Takemoto atrophic gastritis, then it will be easier to estimate the risk of developing stomach cancer. The new system of gastric cancer risk stratification has the prospect of practical application in any population. For gastric cancer prevention at the level of large populations, we suggest using computer programs. The authors' computer program is given in this manuscript.
