TLDR
The purpose of this short report is to update the attributable fraction (AF) estimate for H. pylori in NCGC, and to reassess the global burden of cancer attributable to H. Pylori as a major cause of cancer.Abstract:
We previously estimated that 660,000 cases of cancer in the year 2008 were attributable to the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), corresponding to 5.2% of the 12.7 million total cancer cases that occurred worldwide. In recent years, evidence has accumulated that immunoblot (western blot) is more sensitive for detection of anti-H. pylori antibodies than ELISA, the detection method used in our previous analysis. The purpose of this short report is to update the attributable fraction (AF) estimate for H. pylori after briefly reviewing new evidence, and to reassess the global burden of cancer attributable to H. pylori. We therefore reviewed the literature for studies comparing the risk of developing non-cardia gastric cancer (NCGC) in cases and controls, using both ELISA and multiple antigen immunoblot for detection of H. pylori. The results from prospective studies were combined, and the new pooled estimates were applied to the calculation of the AF for H. pylori in NCGC, then to the burden of infection-related cancers worldwide. Using the immunoblot-based data, the worldwide AF for H. pylori in NCGC increased from 74.7% to 89.0%. This implies approximately 120,000 additional cases of NCGC attributable to H. pylori infection for a total of around 780,000 cases (6.2% instead of 5.2% of all cancers). These updated estimates reinforce the role of H. pylori as a major cause of cancer.read more

TL;DR: The detection of gastric juice pH and selection of optimal intraluminal medicaments are important and further studies with combined antibiotics for ILTHPI, perhaps metronidazole-containing medicaments, are recommended.

TL;DR: The results show that some natural compounds, especially gallic catechin gallate, astragaloside and curcumin, can effectively inhibit angiogenesis; the HIF‐1α/VEGF, COX‐2/PGE2, HGF/c‐Met and PI3K/Akt/mTOR are involved in these inhibition effects.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the association between macronutrient intakes and the risk of stomach cancer and found that the intake of sucrose (OR: 2.94; 95% CI: 1.66-5.19; P-trend<0.001) showed a positive significant association with SC.

TL;DR: Application of existing public health methods for infection prevention, such as vaccination, safer injection practice, or antimicrobial treatments, could have a substantial effect on the future burden of cancer worldwide.

Gastric cancer and Helicobacter pylori: a combined analysis of 12 case control studies nested within prospective cohorts
TL;DR: The results suggest that 5.9 is the best estimate of the relative risk of non-cardia cancer associated with H pylori infection and that Hpylori does not increase the risk of cardia cancer.

Helicobacter pylori in gastric cancer established by CagA immunoblot as a marker of past infection
TL;DR: The weaker H. pylori-cancer relationships in studies based on IgG ELISA rather than CagA may be caused by misclassification of relevant exposure, and a much stronger relationship emerges with more accurate exposure classification.
