[Effect on medical practices after health insurance application for "H. pylori gastritis"].

Eradication therapy for H. pylori infected gastritis became the health insurance application in Japan in 2013. It will seem that the conception of "the chronic gastritis" greatly changes from now on in Japan. "The chronic gastritis" will be classified in H. pylori gastritis and functional dyspepsia in the near future. On the other hand, it is expected that the process of the gastric cancer detection survey greatly changes too. It seems that the ABC checkup using the blood will be carried out in place of Barium examination. A decrease in gastric cancer mortality is expected as things mentioned above from now on.
