Question 10

does h. pylori cause stomach cancer?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it can.: H. Pylori is a type of bacteria that likes to grow on the inside of the stomach. This bacteria causes irritation of the stomach wall lining.  The body tries to heal, but a vicious cycle of irritation and healing gets started.  Over time, the regenerating stomach lining cells become disorganized in their growth which can (not always) lead to cancer growth. H. Pylori therapy can reduce cancer risk.
