Design and Planned Analyses of an Ongoing Randomized Trial Assessing the Preventive Effect of Helicobacter pylori Eradication on Occurrence of New Gastric Carcinomas After Endoscopic Resection

Background:  A causal relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and gastric cancer has been established. A nonrandomized study has shown eradication of H. pylori after endoscopic resection (ER) of early gastric cancer inhibits development of new carcinomas.
