The Role of Campylobacter pylori in Gastro-Duodenal Disease

Implications of Helicobacter pylori infection for stomach cancer prevention

“…The Nariño cohort revealed an extremely high prevalence of chronic gastritis and more advanced degenerative lesions as well as a high incidence of progression of these lesions and of gastric carcinoma itself. The prevalence of H. pylori infection in a random sample of this cohort was over 90 percent (Correa et al, 1989).…”

Geographic association of Helicobacter pylori antibody prevalence and gastric cancer mortality in rural China

“…pylori infection might, thus or otherwise, be a cause of human gastric cancer (Paull and Yardley, 1989;Correa and Ruiz, 1989;Fox et al, 1989;Parsonnet, 1989), and some preliminary studies in communities at increased risk of gastric cancer have indicated a high prevalence of H . pylori infection (Correa and Ruiz, 1989;Fox et al, 1989), especially at young ages (Gutierrez et al, 1988;Klein et al, 1989;Dehesa et al, 1989). We report here a geographic correlation of gastric cancer mortality rates in 46 rural Chinese counties with H .…”

A study on the transmission of <i>helicobacter pylori</i> from food prepared and consumed under hygienic and unhygienic conditions: A first study using biopsy samples

“…After the isolation and identification of Helicobacter pylori in 1982 [1], irresistible data have been drawn in showing Helicobacter pylori as an etiologic component of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, and gastric cancer [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Successful control of this chronic infection would reduce the incidence of gastritis and peptic ulcer, and it may remarkably lower the rates of one of the world's deadliest neoplasm.…”
