Cause of human gastric cancer found.
Ilija Barukcic (Jever, Germany) presented at the 5th Eastern Mediterranean Region-IBS Conference held in Istanbul from the 10th through 14th of May 2009, the first prove since ever that Helicobacter pylori is the cause of human gastric cancer.
JEVER, GERMANY, August 07, 2009 /Cancer PR News/ -- Many studies claimed that there is an association between an infection of human stomach by Helicobacter pylori and the development of human gastric cancer. But none of these studies were able to identify Helicobacter pylori as the cause of human gastric cancer. Until Barukcic's publication, the basic relation between human gastric cancer and Helicobacter pylori was still uncertain.
Barukcic reanalysed a long-term, prospective study of 1526 patients, 1246 had H. pylori infection and 280 did not ( mean follow up 7.8 years, endoscopy at enrolment and then between one and three years after enrolment). Meanwhile, new statistical methods allow us to extract causal relationships from data.
While re-analysing the data above using the mathematical formula of the causal relationship c,
Barukcic was able to make the first scientific prove that there is a significant causal relationship between an infection of human stomach with Helicobacter pylori and the development of human gastric cancer. According too Barukcic, Helicobacter pylori is not only a conditio sine qua non of human gastric cancer (Without an infection of human stomach with Helicobacter pylori no development of human gastric cancer), Helicobacter pylori is the cause of human gastric cancer (p value ~0.002). For the first time in history of man kind, the cause of human gastric cancer is identified.
