Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection is an important risk factor for gastric carcinogenesis. Although several studies have investigated the effect of Hp eradication on the development of metachronous neoplasm after endoscopic resection of the gastric dysplasia, the evidence is still insufficient to make a clear conclusion. The aims of this study was to evaluate the risk factors for the development of metachronous neoplasm after endoscopic resection of gastric dysplasia and to investigate the effect of Hp eradication.
