A literature review was carried out on atrophy, metaplasia, and gastric cancer, searching for the best evidence available supporting the occurrence of this sequence of events, evaluating the role of Helicobacter pylory, and in an attempt to determine how the follow-up should be done so as to achieve an early diagnosis and to provide practical management recommendations.
