TY - JOUR AU - Shibata, Tomoyuki PY - 2016 TI - The relationship between gene polymorphism and gastric cancer development - How is salt sensitivity associated with gastric cancer development? - JF - Medical Research Archives; Vol 4 No 8 (2017): Vol. 4 Issue 8, December, 2016 KW - Helicobacter pylori, gastric cancer, salt sensitivity, polymorphism N2 - Since the discovery of Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ) approximately 30 years ago, the relationships between H. pylori and several diseases have been identified. In this review, we summarize studies that proved that H. pylori is a risk factor for gastric cancer as well as studies that investigated how salt intake, another proposed risk factor for gastric cancer, contributes to gastric cancer, with the focus on host factors in the form of genetic polymorphisms.
