Shamshul Ansari, Ph.D., in his paper “Current understanding and management of Helicobacter pylori infection: an updated appraisal” (2018) rationalizes that H. pylori eradication is necessary to prevent gastric cancer. Ansari presents evidence and reiterates past work on H. pylori with associated gastritis and gastric cancer that could be prevented from triple eradication therapy consisting of 3 antibiotics. The purpose of his work is to prove that eradication of H. pylori is beneficial and will allow the prevention of diseases such as gastric cancer. Ansari establishes a relationship with healthcare professionals who have the power to implement the H. pylori eradication therapy on patients.
