The association, Metaplasia and Helicobacter pylori were present in 524 biopsies (79.03%) and the absence of Helicobacter pylori and Metaplasia were present in 139 biopsies (20.97%), being Metaplasia enteric (Mpe) (Hp+) 92 biopsies and (Hp-) 50 biopsies, and Metaplasia colonic (Mpc) (Hp+) 471 biopsies and (Mpc) (Hp-) 50 biopsies.With this study we can observe the great incidence of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) in association with the intestinal metaplasia (Mp), being your important association sees that the presence of intestinal metaplasia (Mp) and the Helicobacter pylori can be correlated the genesis of Gastric Cancer
