Journal of Pathology, https://doi.org/10.1002/path.5990

High-level expression of decay-accelerating factor, CD55, has previously been found in human gastric cancer (GC) and intestinal metaplasia (IM) tissues. Therapeutic effects of CD55 inhibition in cancer have been reported. However, the role of Helicob...

Background: Patient outcomes in gastric adenocarcinoma are poor due to late diagnosis. Detecting and treating at the premalignant stage has the potential to improve this. Helicobacter pylori is also a strong risk factor for this disease.

Aims: Pri... Read More about Narrow band imaging and serology in the assessment of premalignant gastric pathology.

Association Between ABO Blood Groups and Helicobacter pylori Infection: A Meta-Analysis (2018)
Journal Article

There is no consensus among the existing literature on the relationship between ABO blood groups and risk of Helicobacter pylori infection. However, histo-blood group carbohydrates are proposed to influence the risk of acquiring this pathogen via eff...
