Abstract
- Gastric adenocarcinoma is the most prevalent cancer in South Korea, and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is also common. This study was performed to examine the association between H. pylori infection and gastric cancer, taking into account various other factors. To investigate the association between gastric adenocarcinoma and H. pylori infection, determined by urease-positive reaction in the CLO test, a total of 175 paired specimens (175 tumor and 175 tissues adjacent to tumor) of stomach cancer patients and a total of 113 control specimens were obtained. The positive H. pylori infection rates were 78.9% (138/175) among the patients in specimens of tumor or tissues adjacent to the tumor and 41.6% (47/113) among controls in the CLO test. A positive correlation between H. pylori infection and gastric cancer was observed (age-adjusted odds ratio, 7.0; MH chi2=34.5 with P
