Article Synopsis
- - Gastric cancer is a leading cause of cancer deaths globally, often linked to chronic infection by a common bacterium, which can lead to gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM), a key pre-cancerous condition.
- - A study analyzed pathology data from nearly 44,000 endoscopy biopsies in Puerto Rico from 2012-2014 and found a GIM prevalence rate of 10.7%, with a significant portion of reports lacking critical risk subtype information.
- - The findings suggest higher GIM prevalence among Puerto Rican Hispanics compared to non-Hispanic populations in the U.S., highlighting the need for improved standardization in biopsy protocols and pathology reporting to enhance GIM surveillance.
