Alcohol consumption and the risk of gastric intestinal metaplasia in a U.S. Veterans population [PDF]
Background Chronic alcohol use is a risk factor for non-cardia gastric adenocarcinoma. However, it is less well understood whether alcohol use is a risk factor for premalignant mucosal changes, namely gastric intestinal metaplasia.

The subtleties of intestinal metaplasia [PDF]
See article on page 73 Even if its incidence has decreased due to the influence of environmental and nutritional factors, gastric carcinoma remains a major concern because of its very poor prognosis. Screening for precancerous conditions, including intestinal metaplasia, is one method of improving the prognosis of gastric carcinoma. Nevertheless, the

Cytokeratin immunoreactivity of intestinal metaplasia [PDF]
We read with great interest the well designed study of Couvelard et al ( Gut 2001; 49 :761–6). In agreement with other studies,1–3 the authors reported that cytokeratin (CK) 7 and 20 immunoreactivity in the specialised intestinal metaplasia found in Barrett’s oesophagus differs from the intestinal metaplasia found in the stomach.

Intestinal metaplasia and gastric carcinogenesis [PDF]
SummaryGastric intestinal metaplasia, an intermediate step in Correa's cascade of gastric carcinogenesis, is generally regarded as a pre‐malignant lesion. Epidemiological studies suggest that patients with intestinal metaplasia have more than a 10‐fold increased risk of developing gastric cancer.

Molecular Alterations in Gastric Intestinal Metaplasia [PDF]
Gastric cancer (GC) remains one of the most common causes of mortality worldwide. Intestinal metaplasia (IM) is one of the preneoplastic gastric lesions and is considered an essential predisposing factor in GC development. Here we present a review of recent most relevant papers to summarize major findings on the molecular alterations in gastric IM. The
