Core Tip Gastric microenvironment is shaped by gastric acid secretion, microbiota composition, and mucosal inflammation, which collectively drive the progression from gastritis to metaplasia and gastric cancer. Their bidirectional interactions create a self-reinforcing cycle of hypochlorhydria, microbial dysbiosis, and chronic inflammation. This comprehensive review provides an integrated perspective on these processes, offering updated insights into pathogenic mechanisms, risk stratification, and potential preventive or therapeutic strategies.
