Abstract:
What's new? Infection with the bacteria H. pylori is the most common risk factor for developing gastric cancer. The infection causes chronic inflammation leading to a sequence of gastritis, atrophy, metaplasia, dysplasia, cancer. This study follows up a cohort of 6,000 men after 16 years and showed that cancer risk increased with the progression of inflammation and atrophy, which can be measured by serum tests. These tests, the authors suggest, would be useful in assessing risk among people infected with H. pylori .
