Zusammenfassung

According to prospective epidemio-logical studies using the most sensitive methods of detection, 90% of non-cardia stomach cancers and virtually all low grade MALT lym-phoma are attributable to the bacte-rium, especially the more aggressive cagA strains (see Table 1). Worldwide, this corresponds to 780,000 ineident cases in 2008 (Plummer et al., 2014). Although dietary or genetic factors modulate the strength of this association, no risk factors for gastric cancer as strong as H. pylori have been recognized.
