Opis

In this book, precursors of gastric cancer are described histopathologically, especially about the precancerous conditons and precancerous lesions of the stomach. In addition to those precancerous changes stated in previous monographs and textbooks, some newly recognized gastric dysplasias are proposed. In order to be able to ovjectively evaluate the atypism of dysplasic changes, achievements of morphometric studies were presented.
