PY - 2016 TI - Helicobacter pylori vacuolating cytotoxin and gastric cancer risk: reconsidered JF - Translational Cancer Research; Vol 5, Supplement 3 (September 29, 2016): Translational Cancer Research Y2 - 2016 KW - N2 - Although Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ) cause gastric cancer, cancer develops in a fraction of H. pylori infected patients. Based on the notion that polymorphisms in the H. pylori vacuolating cytotoxin gene might be a determinant of clinical outcome, Abdi et al . used meta-analysis to examine the association between vacA gene subtypes and the risk of developing atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia or gastric cancer (1).
