Core Tip	Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is closely related to the development of gastric cancer (GC). Therefore, H. pylori eradication therapy is very important. However, GC can develop even after H. pylori eradication. Thus, it would be very useful if the onset of GC could be predicted. The Kyoto classification of gastritis is useful for endoscopic diagnosis. In this study, we showed that a modified atrophy score may be useful for predicting GC after eradication. In cases of GC after eradication, the modified atrophy score did not decrease during endoscopic follow-up. Gastric mucosal atrophic findings should be noted during post-eradication surveillance.
