Predisposing cause for Ca. stomach is except -: (A) Chr. gastric atrophy, (B) Hyperplastic polyp, (C) Metaplasia grade III intestine, (D) Pernicious anemia
Answer is B. Of the given options, hyperplastic polyp carries the least risk. In fact it carries a very small risk (< 2%)


Note that if we follow strictly to the terminology mentioned in Maingots & Schwartz, none of the given options are Predisposing factors; all these are premalignant condition. But I think examiners are not rigid about the terminology and consider both predisposing factors and premalignant conditions as one and same thing.
