Prevalence of Helicobacter Pylori Infection and Gastric Cancer in the West Indies

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Stomach Neoplasms, Gastric Neoplasms, Helicobacter Pylori

In brief

Estimating the prevalence of Helicobacter Pylori infection in newly diagnosed stomach cancers in the West-Indies will help to understand the epidemiology of this cancer, which is over-incident in the West Indies compared to France. In addition, the constitution of a biobank (tumor tissues, healthy tissues and serum) will allow to set up in a second time etiological studies to identify other risk factors in particular in connection with the exposure to environmental pollutants to adapt the prevention measures.
