ABSTRACT

Aims The aim of the present study was to investigate the presence of Helicobacter pylori microorganism in gastric cancer in different regions of the stomach and to compare it with non-malignant lesions.
Materials & Methods Samples were obtained from 50 confirmed cases of gastric adenocarcinoma, undergoing gastrectomy. Gastric tissue of 50 patients who underwent endoscopy without gastric cancer was obtained as control samples. All patients were matched with regard to age and sex. The urease test and histology were used for the diagnosis of H. pylori infection. The prevalence of H. pylori was compared between the two groups. The data analysis was performed, using SPSS 16 through student T, Chi-square and Fisher exact tests.
Findings The prevalence of H. pylori infection in gastric adenocarcinoma group was 92% and in the control group was 60%. The prevalence of H. pylori infection in gastric adenocarcinoma patients was 100% in the antropyloric region and 95% in the body of the stomach.
Conclusion There is a significant correlation between Helicobacter pylori infection and risk of gastric adenocarcinoma.
