Preneoplastic lesions of the esophagus and stomach are cellular abnormalities that have the potential to develop into cancer over time. They are detected during endoscopy and can be classified according to their specific cellular characteristics. Their treatment depends on the severity of the lesion and the individual factors of each patient. Treatment options may include regular endoscopic monitoring, treatment to reduce the risk of progression to cancer (anti-reflux therapy, antibiotics for H. pylori eradication), or endoscopic removal of the lesion. It is important to discuss any concerns about these lesions with a gastroenterologist and to follow recommendations for proper screening and treatment.

D016480 Helicobacter pylori A spiral bacterium active as a human gastric pathogen. It is a gram-negative, urease-positive, curved or slightly spiral organism initially isolated in 1982 from patients with lesions of gastritis or peptic ulcers in Western Australia. Helicobacter pylori was originally classified in the genus CAMPYLOBACTER, but RNA sequencing, cellular fatty acid profiles, growth patterns, and other taxonomic characteristics indicate that the micro-organism should be included in the genus HELICOBACTER. It has been officially transferred to Helicobacter gen. nov. (see Int J Syst Bacteriol 1989 Oct;39(4):297-405).
