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...
Family History and Gastric Cancer Risk: A Pooled Investigation in the Stomach C...
Vitelli-Storelli, F; Rubín-García, M; Pelucchi, C; Benavente, Y; Bonzi, R; Rota, M; Palli, D; Ferraroni, M; Lunet, N; Morais, S; Ye, W; Plymoth, AAlthough there is a clear relationship between family history (FH) and the risk of gastric cancer (GC), quantification is still needed in relation to different histological types and anatomical sites, and in strata of covariates. The objective was to analyze the risk of GC according to first-degree FH in a uniquely large epidemiological consortium of GC. This investigation includes 5946 cases and 12,776 control...
Education and gastric cancer risk-An individual participant data meta-analysis ...
Rota, M; Alicandro, G; Pelucchi, C; Bonzi, R; Bertuccio, P; Hu, J; Zhang, ZF; Johnson, KC; Palli, D; Ferraroni, M; Yu, GP; Galeone, C; López-Carrillo, LLow socioeconomic position (SEP) is a strong risk factor for incidence and premature mortality from several cancers. Our study aimed at quantifying the association between SEP and gastric cancer (GC) risk through an individual participant data meta-analysis within the “Stomach cancer Pooling (StoP) Project”. Educational level and household income were used as proxies for the SEP. We estimated pooled odds ratios...
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 ...
