• Subjects with comorbid illness precluding endoscopic evaluation (coronary artery disease with myocardial infarction within 6 months, unstable angina or congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease requiring home oxygen, other diseases that limit life expectancy to less than 10 years).
• Subjects with chronic gastritis, or who have cancer other than colorectal, or pregnant women.
