Core Tip
Core tip: Gastric cancer develops even after successful Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication therapy. With the prevalence of eradication therapy, occurrence rates of gastric cancer detected after eradication are increasing and this is becoming an important clinical issue. We review the characteristics and predictors of primary gastric cancer after H. pylori eradication, and discuss the risk stratification of gastric cancer after eradication.
