Intestinal Metaplasia of the Pre-Piloric Antrum. Chronic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia (3 of 3)
Case description
Additional intervention strategies to reverse IM
As it is unlikely that H pylori is solely responsible for
induction and progression of IM, other interventions may
be necessary to reverse this condition. In an Italian study,
co-administration of ascorbic acid with H pylori eradication
significantly resolved IM of the gastric mucosa, and the
authors concluded that chemoprevention treatment should
be considered.

Similarly, Correa et al’s study in Colombia has shown that effective anti-H pylori treatment and dietary supplementation with antioxidant micronutrients may interfere with the precancerous process, mostly by increasing the rate of regression of cancer precursor lesions
