Abstract
Examination of human biopsy specimens from the stomach has shown that chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) or intestinal metaplasia (IM) are often accompanied by proliferative changes of the superficial parts of gastric mucosa [2, 6]. These lesions are discussed as cancerous precursor stages, although no reliable data dealing with their biological behavior is available so far [3, 7]. The demonstration of such changes, particularly of severe dysplasia, often evokes questions concerning further diagnostic and therapeutic steps.
