Is H.pylori dangerous and what is the likelihood that it can cause gastric cancer?What should I do once I get a positive result?
When caused by H. pylori, does H. pylori remain once you reach the gastric cancer stage? And if so, can we do a UBT test to detect it?
If a person had a gastric cancer large enough to cause pain or a blockage, should weight loss also be present?
So in cases of gastric cancer caused by H. pylori, the H. pylori tends to still be present at the cancer stage. And a UBT would test for it.
