Helicobacter pylori in primary gastric lymphoma and gastric cancer: A clinicopathologic and prognostic assessment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Objectives: Helicobacter pylori infection is a risk factor for gastric adenocarcinoma and primary gastric lymphoma. We examined whether this H. pylori infection is also a prognostic factor for gastric cancer and primary gastric lymphoma. Methods: Resected or biopsied specimens from 255 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma and primary gastric lymphoma were investigated for H. pylori status. Hematoxylin and eosin stain was used to evaluate the presence or absence of H. pylori on formalin fixed, paraffin embedded specimens. Results: H. pylori were detected in 34 of 140 patients (24.3%) with primary gastric lymphoma, while H. pylori were detected in 62 of 115 patients (53.9%) with gastric cancer. The frequency of H. pylori positivity was higher in patients with gastric cancer than in those with gastric lymphoma (p<0.001). The frequency of H. pylori positivity was different between mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue type (MALT) lymphomas (53.5%) and lymphomas other than diffuse large b-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (18.7%) in gastric lymphoma (p<0.001). For patients with primary gastric lymphoma, H. pylori status did not correlate with the disease free survival and overall survival (p=0.833, p= 0.503). However for patients with gastric cancer, H. pylori status did not correlate with the diseasefree survival and overall survival (p=0.392, p= 0.357). Conclusions: In our study, between gastric cancer and primary gastric lymphoma were significant differences in terms of the presence of H. pylori. However, H. pylori did not have prognostic significance on survival for both pairs. J Microbiol Infect Dis 2013; 3(2): 61-66

Introduction: Lymphomas as a group rank seventh as the most leading cause of death in cancers. Stomach is the most common extra nodal site of primary lymphomas. On the other hand, new information demonstrates that MALT lymphoma responds to Helicobacter antibiotic therapy. We therefore decided to determine the frequency of distribution of Helicobacter Pylori infection in primary gastric lymphoma...
متن کاملAnalysis 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.<...

Animal studies showed that male gastric tissues respond more rapidly to Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection but the possible mechanisms remained unclear. There is no data about gender specific activity of Androgen receptor (AR) as an independent unfavorable prognostic factor in gastric cancer and its interactions with H.pylori and angiogenesis in both genders. To compare the pathogenesis o...
