Abstract
As has been done for other organs, the term “precancerosis” with regard to the stomach should be subdivided into two separate categories. A precancerous condition is a clinically defined state which involves an elevated risk of cancer in comparison with the normal population. By contrast, a precancerous lesion is defined as a histopathologic abnormality in which cancer is more likely to occur than its apparently normal counterpart. Epithelial dysplasia is the histological substrate of the precancerous lesion.1
