Association between Helicobacter pylori and pancreatic cancer risk: a meta-analysis

摘要

Gastric colonization with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of pancreatic cancer, but results of epidemiological studies have been inconclusive. We analyzed data from the Queensland Pancreatic Cancer Study, an Australian population-based case-control study, and incorporated our findings into an updated meta-analysis.
