Program Overview
Gastric ulcers are a type of peptic ulcer which affects the stomach lining due to an imbalance between gastric acid and the gastric mucosa. Recent studies estimate that at least 70 percent, and possibly as high as 90 percent, of gastric ulcers are caused by H. pylori bacterial colonization. Between 80,000 and 90,000 new cases of gastric ulceration are diagnosed yearly in the United States. The morbidity associated with H. pylori infection has dramatically decreased in the last two decades due mainly to "triple therapy", a pharmaceutical protocol involving the use of potent acid suppressants and antibacterials. This presentation will review gastric ulceration and highlight management strategies and complications associated with non-pharmacological methods and triple therapy protocols.
