About this trial

This study aimed to investigate the effect of low-dose (100 mg) asprin on the prevention of gastric cancer in the early gastric cancer patients with negative H. pylori status who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Gut 2000;47:251-255.])
