TLDR
H pylori infection may be an important cause of gastric cancer; between 35% and 55% of all cases may be associated with such an infection.Abstract:
OBJECTIVE--To investigate the association between gastric cancer and prior infection with Helicobacter pylori. DESIGN--Case-control comparison of prevalence of IgG antibodies to H pylori in blood samples collected prospectively, before diagnosis of gastric cancer in the cases. Presence of H pylori antibody (greater than 10 micrograms IgG/ml) determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). SUBJECTS--29 men with a subsequent diagnosis of gastric cancer and 116 aged matched controls selected from over 22,000 middle aged men participating in two ongoing cohort studies (the British United Provident Association study and the Caerphilly collaborative heart disease study), who had provided blood samples during 1975-1982. RESULTS--20 of the 29 cases (69%) and 54 of the 116 controls (47%) were positive for H pylori specific antibody. The median specific IgG concentration was significantly higher in the cases than controls (90 micrograms/ml v 3.6 micrograms/ml, p less than 0.01). The estimated odds ratio for the risk of gastric cancer in those with a history of infection with H pylori was 2.77 (95% confidence interval 1.04 to 7.97, 2p = 0.039). CONCLUSIONS--H pylori infection may be an important cause of gastric cancer; between 35% and 55% of all cases may be associated with such an infection.read more

Use of commonly prescribed antibiotics is not associated with prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in adults.
TL;DR: Coincidental antibiotic treatment is not associated with H. pylori prevalence in adults and control for other potential confounders by multivariable analysis did not materially alter the results.

Gastric cancer and Helicobacter Pylori infection in the Eastern Libya: A descriptive epidemiological study
TL;DR: It is shown that H. pylori infection is the most probable causal factor of gastric cancer in this part of Libya, suggesting that more efforts need to be given to early detection.

Molecular gene expression signature patterns for gastric cancer diagnosis
TL;DR: It is proposed that the use of the molecular gene expression signatures described in this manuscript when used in conjunction with the traditional histological techniques already in clinical practice will enhance and improve the diagnosis of gastric cancer.

TL;DR: In Mongolian gerbils, the gastric mucosa shows dramatic changes after Helicobacter pylori inoculation, and other environmental factors (the timing of MNU administration) play important roles.
