Gastric dysplasia : a clinical and pathological analysis.

Introduction: The intestinal- type gastric cancer carcinogenesis pathway is a series of multistep histological events. Gastric dysplasia, a premalignant lesion, occurs just before gastric cancer develops. It is characterised by cytological and architectural changes. However, the distinction in the g...

Conclusion: The shorter follow- up time seen in the progression of indefinite dysplasia can be indicative of high clinical suspicion, suggesting that patients should be kept under close surveillance to provide for an early therapeutic window.
