A New Gastric Cancer Among Us
A partir des données de 45 registres américains des cancers portant sur la période 1995-2013, cette étude analyse l'évolution des disparités ethniques dans l'incidence du cancer de l'estomac distal
In 1900, gastric cancer was the leading cause of cancer death in the United States and in many countries (1). This cancer, nearly all of which is attributable to decades-long gastric colonization by Helicobacter pylori (2), has been declining with the progressive disappearance of these bacteria (3). This has been very good news, indeed a triumph (1), and the trends began long before H. pylori was discovered in 1983, with cohorts born in the late 19th century (1).
