• The prevalence of H. pylori infection has been decreasing in Japan (4), and mass screening using endoscopy will become less cost-effective and a greater burden due to low PPV and high false positivity. Because the incidence of gastric cancer was different according to H. pylori infection and H. pylori-associated gastritis, introduction of the ABC method using H. pylori antibody and pepsinogen is considered useful for the identification of a high-risk group of gastric cancer, which can lead to cost-efficient endoscopy screening and also reduce potential harm in a low-risk population (5).
