A multicentre retrospective study of ulcer‐carcinoma was carried out in 16 hospitals in China, with the aim of examining the correlation between pre‐cancerous lesions and malignant change associated with benign gastric ulcer. Malignant change occurred at 2% over a variable period of 6 months to 15 years. About two‐thirds of the ulcer cancers were found to be tubular adenocarcinoma.
