The presence and stage of precancerous lesions as well as subtype of intestinal metaplasia at the baseline endoscopy got evaluated. Literature mini-review was performed.RESULTS Out of 1681 subjects in the Biobank, gastric adenocarcinoma was detected in five cases in whom previous endoscopy data with biopsies either from the corpus or antral part were available. All of the patients had incomplete intestinal metaplasia during the baseline endoscopy;all three subjects in whom intestinal metaplasia subtyping was performed according to Filipe et al, had Type Ⅲ intestinal metaplasia. Two of the five cases had low Operative Link on Gastritis Assessment(OLGA) and Operative Link on Gastritis Intestinal Metaplasia Assessment(OLGIM) stages(Ⅰ-Ⅱ) at the baseline.CONCLUSION The presence of incomplete intestinal metaplasia, in particular, that of Type Ⅲ is a better predictor for gastric adenocarcinoma development than OLGA/OLGIM staging system. Subtyping of intestinal metaplasia have an important role in the risk stratification for surveillance decisions.展开更多
