Example Sentences:
(1) Several tentative modifications to the estimate of the risks may be presented: (i) a severe risk of developing gastric cancer is restricted to subjects with a severe grade of chronic gastritis (ii) the risk of gastric cancer is increased in subjects who have either severe antral or body chronic gastritis, the risk being approximately three to five times higher in the antral chronic gastritis (B-type of gastritis) than in the body chronic gastritis (A type of gastritis); (iii) the antral and body chronic gastritis are independent risk factors for gastric cancer, the joint risks being multiplicands of the marginal risks i.e., the estimated risk is highest in those subjects who show severe chronic gastritis in both the antrum and the body (AB type of gastritis); (iiii) the chronic gastritis mediated gastric cancer risk is limited to gastric cancers of the intestinal type, and thus covers only a proportion of all cases of gastric cancer.
