Correlation Between Gastric Polyps and Helicobacter Pylori Infection

Gastric polyps are one of the common lesions found in endoscopy, which have malignant potential. Its occurrence is related to many factors. The specific etiology and pathogenesis of gastric polyps are still unclear. Studies have found that certain pathological types of gastric polyps are related to Helicobacter pylori(Hp)infection. Hp-eradication therapy has a significantly preventive effect on partial hyperplastic polyps and adenomatous polyps, while gastric fundus polyps are negatively correlated with Hp infection. It is important to clarify the correlation between gastric polyps and Hp infection, as well as the impact of Hp-eradication treatment on various pathological types of gastric polyps. In this paper, we will review the relationship between gastric polyps and Hp infection to provide the basis for the clinical management of gastric polyps and Hp infection.
