A Study to Understand and Prevent Gastric Cancer by Examining Precancerous Stomach Conditions and Risk Factors

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are creating a registry to study people with early changes in the stomach lining that may lead to gastric cancer. This includes those with gastric atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, and dysplasia. The study also enrolls healthy individuals and people with gastric cancer to compare baseline characteristics and better understand risk factors for disease progression. Participants fall into three groups those with specific stomach lesions, healthy controls, and people with gastric cancer. The study collects information through questionnaires about clinical history, environmental exposures, lifestyle, and diet. This observational study does not involve any treatment but gathers health data to support future research. Participants will complete questionnaires and provide health information over a period that may last up to 10 years. The main goal is to build a detailed participant registry. Researchers will monitor and analyze the collected data to identify factors related to the progression of stomach lesions to cancer. Participation involves regular data collection but no active treatment, with safety and privacy monitored throughout the study.
