Eradication of H pylori, the primary cause of gastric cancer, reduces the risk of gastric cancer across all age groups, with the greatest risk reduction before the onset of premalignant conditions. H pylori eradication also promotes ulcer healing, prevents ulcer recurrence and reduces the risk of NSAID/aspirin related ulcers. H pylori transmission primarily occurs within families, making family-based approaches promising for reducing spread and improving treatment outcomes. H pylori screening should prioritize high risk populations. H pylori eradication is an effective prevention strategy for gastric cancer that should be offered to all infected adult individuals.
