We conducted a longitudinal cohort study to determine the association of Helicobacter pylori infection and the progression of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) with gastric cancer. A cohort of 4655 healthy asymptomatic subjects was followed for a mean period of 7.7 years. H. pylori infection was esta

โฆ Synopsis
Several prospective studies have shown a significant association between Helicobacter pylori seropositivity and the risk of gastric cancer. Only a small proportion of H. pylori-infected individuals will, however, develop gastric cancer, and it is unclear what effects other factors, such as diet, might have on the risk of cancer. Eighty-seven subjects with gastric cancer were identified during the first 6 years of follow-up (mean 2.4 years) of a cohort of middle-aged men from Shanghai, China. They were matched with 261 cancer-free controls, and serum samples from all subjects, obtained at recruitment, were assayed for anti-H. pylori IgG antibodies. Questionnaire data provided information on a wide range of socio-demographic life-style and dietary variables. H. pylori seropositivity rates

## Abstract To examine the geographic association between __Helicobacter__ pylori infection and gastric cancer, we have assessed the prevalence of IgG antibodies to __H. pylori__ in plasma samples taken in 1983 from 1882 men, aged 35โ64 years, in 46 rural counties of the People's Republic of China.
Overexpression of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 has been implicated in the development of cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between genetic variants in COX-2 promoter interacting with Helicobacter pylori and the susceptibility to gastric cancer (GC).

## Background: Gastric cancer is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy in japan. the possible relationship between helicobacter pylori infection and gastric cancer in japan was evaluated. ## Methods: H. pylori infection was identified by the presence of anti-h. pylori igg. the frequency of h.
## Background: Several epidemiologic investigations have established a link between helicobacter pylori infection and gastric malignancies. because the stomach is in continuity with the oral cavity and the bacterium has been isolated from dental plaque and saliva, we hypothesized that h. pylori inf
