Furthermore, no differences in the eradication regimen are currently recommended, depending on whether the treatment is given for a clinically evident disease, e.g. for complicated ulcer disease or MALT lymphoma from prevention strategies in population-based settings. The recent guidelines of ASEAN (Association Southeast Asian Nations) countries support eradication to prevent gastric cancer by considering this strategy as costeffective, depending on the disease burden in the relevant community [19] . An expert group hosted by IARC has suggested the need for interventional strategies to decrease the burden of gastric cancer [1, 22] ; however, experts recommended that this be done by the means of well-designed clinical studies evaluating the feasibility, acceptance, costs, effectiveness and adverse consequences. ./cache/cord-011310-fm578rm5.txt ./txt/cord-011310-fm578rm5.txt
