The anatomic distribution of precancerous gastric lesions among 3,400 residents in Linqu, Shandong Province of China, was compared with the anatomic distribution of stomach cancer (SC) among 959 patients in Tokyo, Japan. The incidence of SC is high in both areas, and locations within the stomach of the precancerous and malignant lesions were classified using similar criteria. Chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) affected 98% of the population in Linqu, with intestinal metaplasia (IM) the most severe diagnosis in 33% and dysplasia (DYS) in 20%. Neither the SC nor precancerous lesions were uniformly distributed in the stomach. Among the DYS 3% were along the greater curvature of the body, 15% along the lesser curvature of the body, 25% in the angulus, 22% along the lesser curvature of the antrum, and 34% elsewhere in the antrum. Among the SC the corresponding percentages were 2, 16, 28, 25 and 29. The similarity to the SC distribution increased gradually from CAG to IM to DYS, providing further evidence for the multistage progression of precancerous gastric lesions.
