Clinicopathological features of gastric adenocarcinoma of the fundic gland (chief cell predominant type) by retrospective and prospective analyses of endoscopic findings

Abstract

These data indicate that GA-FG-CCP, even when submucosal invasion occurs easily, might be of low-grade malignancy as long as it is the chief cell predominant type without other epithelial abnormalities. In addition, GA-FG-CCP might develop despite H. pylori infection or gastric mucosal atrophy.
