Abstract:
Four decades ago the discovery of Helicobacter pylori was first reported in the international medical literature. Since then, there have been significant developments in basic and clinical science that have been translated into daily clinical practice. Changes in the management of H. pylori infection have occurred in diagnostic algorithms, indications for therapy and therapy itself. A special focus is directed to strategies of gastric cancer prevention.This manuscript briefly reviews the milestone in 40 years of H. pylori management.
