Sassano, M; Mariani, M; Pelucchi, C; Lunet, N; Morais, S; Martín, V; Moreno, V; Curado, MP; Dias-Neto, E; Leja, M; Gasenko, E; La Vecchia, C; Boccia, SBackground: A potential association between proton-pump inhibitors (PPI) and gastric cancer remains undefined. Thus, we aimed to evaluate such association within the Stomach cancer Methods: Data from five case-control studies of the StoP Project were included (1,889 cases and 6,517 controls). We assessed the impact of different exposure definitions, specifically any reported use of PPIs and exposure definitions...
Identifying the Profile of Helicobacter pylori-Negative Gastric Cancers: A Case...
Morais, S; Peleteiro, B; Araújo, N; Malekzadeh, R; Ye, W; Plymoth, A; Tsugane, S; Hidaka, A; Hamada, GS; López-Carrillo, L; Zaridze, D; Maximovich, DBackground: The prevalence of Helicobacter pylori-negative gastric cancer (HpNGC) can be as low as 1%, when infection is assessed using more sensitive tests or considering the presence of gastric atrophy. HpNGC may share a high-risk profile contributing to the occurrence of cancer in the absence of infection. We estimated the proportion of HpNGC, using different criteria to define infection status, and compared...
Sex differences in the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection: an individu...
Ferro, A; Morais, S; Pelucchi, C; Dierssen-Sotos, T; Martín, V; López-Carrillo, L; Malekzadeh, R; Tsugane, S; Hamada, GS; Hidaka, ABackground Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is more frequent among men, though the magnitude of the association might be inaccurate due to potential misclassification of lifetime infection and publication bias. Moreover, infection is common, and most studies are cross-sectional. Thus, prevalence ratios (PRs) may be easier to interpret than odds ratios (ORs). Aim The aim of this study was to quantify th...
Smoking and Helicobacter pylori infection: an individual participant pooled ana...
Ferro, A; Morais, S; Pelucchi, C; Aragonés, N; Kogevinas, M; López-Carrillo, L; Malekzadeh, R; Tsugane, S; Hamada, GS; Hidaka, A; Hernández-Ramírez, RUSmoking has been associated with acquisition and increased persistence of Helicobacter pylori infection, as well as with lower effectiveness of its eradication. A greater prevalence of infection among smokers could contribute to the increased risk for gastric cancer. We aimed to estimate the association between smoking and seropositivity to H. pylori through an individual participant data pooled analysis using ...
