Helicobacter pylori infection has a central role in gastric cancer development, so eradication of this infection is expected to reduce gastric cancer development. In 2012, the Japanese government decided to introduce H. pylori eradication for chronic gastritis among asymptomatic people, including having this procedure covered by health insurance.
