Stomach cancer has a significant connection to a bacteria known as Helicobacter pylori. This bacteria, present in about 90% of cases, is strongly associated with gastric and duodenal ulcers as well as chronic gastritis. These conditions serve as important risk factors for stomach cancer. When Helicobacter pylori causes gastric or duodenal ulcers, the risk of gastric cancer doubles, and when it leads to full-blown gastritis, the risk increases by 90-fold. Detecting this bacteria is relatively simple through breath tests, stool tests, or endoscopic biopsies. It is crucial to identify and address Helicobacter pylori infection as it plays a significant role in the development of stomach cancer.
