Analysis of KRAS gene mutation associated with Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with gastric cancer
Objective(s): KRAS proto-oncogene mutation can be considered a diagnostic factor for treating various malignancies. Helicobacter pylori infection, a risk factor for stomach cancer, may cause DNA damage and genetic changes. The aim of the current study was to assess the association of gastric cancer and KRAS mutation, demographic factors, and H. pylori infection.<...
متن کاملPrevention of gastric cancer by Helicobacter pylori eradication.
The evidence supporting the important role of Helicobacter pylori causing gastric cancer is getting stronger. The mechanisms by which H. pylori can influence the progression to severe changes in the gastric mucosa are under investigation. An increased gastric epithelial cell proliferation has been observed in individuals infected with H. pylori. This lifelong increased cell turnover is deemed t...
متن کاملImpact of Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase C677T Polymorphism on the Risk of Gastric Cancer and Its Interaction with Helicobacter pylori Infection
Background: Attempts for early detection of gastric cancer have recently focused on host's genetic susceptibility factors and gene-environment interactions. We have, herein, studied the association of MTHFR C677T single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and its interaction with Helicobacter pylori infection, smoking, age and gender on the risk of gastric cancer among an Iranian population.

متن کاملThe Role of Helicobacter Pylori Virulence Factors in Gastric Cancer
Introduction: Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers are considered among the most important causes of mortality and morbidity. Helicobacter pylori infection has been proven to be highly associated with the development of a variety of gastric diseases such as chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease (PUD), mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), and gastric cancer (GC). To date, the exact role of the v...
متن کامل[Croatian guidelines for gastric cancer prevention by eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection].
Gastric cancer is the fourth most common type of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the world. Although gastric cancer has a multifactorial etiology, infection with Helicobacter pylori is highly associated with gastric carcinogenesis. Carcinogenesis is also influenced by some environmental factors and host genetic diversity, which engenders differential host inflamma...
