Gastric cancer diagnosed after Helicobacter pylori eradication in diabetes mellitus patients
2015
Background
Helicobacter pylori infection is the most important risk factor for gastric cancer, for which eradication therapy is commonly performed. However, gastric cancer is sometimes discovered after successful eradication of H. pylori. Much evidence indicates that diabetes mellitus (DM) is a risk factor for gastric cancer. The incidence and characteristics of gastric cancer diagnosed after H. pylori eradication in DM patients remain to be determined.
