Stomach cancer continues to be a global health problem, ranking 5th among cancers and 4th among the causes of death from cancer in the world. Autoimmune atrophic gastritis is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by the production of antibodies to parietal cells and intrinsic factor, followed by atrophy of the mucous membrane of the body and fundus of the stomach.
