Although E-cadherins have been involved in gastric carcinogenesis, their role in precancerous lesions, such as intestinal metaplasia, is still unclear. This study aimed to assess the role of both intestinal metaplasia and H. pylori infection on E-cadherin expression in gastric mucosa.

Abstract

Although E-cadherins have been involved in gastric carcinogenesis, their role in precancerous lesions, such as intestinal metaplasia, is still unclear. This study aimed to assess the role of both intestinal metaplasia and H. pylori infection on E-cadherin expression in gastric mucosa.
