One of two gastric cancers developing in operative link for gastritis assessment stage III, but the operative link for gastritis assessment stage II, gastric mucosa. Representative images of 6 biopsy samples (3 from the mucosecreting/antral compartment, 1 from the lesion, and 2 from the oxyntic/corpus compartment) labeled according to site of origin (A: antral/angular; GC: gastric cancer; C: corpus), showing the percentages of atrophic/metaplastic lesions and the consequent operative link for gastritis assessment/operative link on intestinal metaplasia assessment stages.
