Although viral and parasitic agents have been implicated in human cancers, gastric cancer is at the present time the only malignant neoplasia recognized as causally associated in humans with a bacterium. In 1994 the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) concluded:“there is sufficient evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of infection with Helicobacter pylori”[1]. At that time they concluded that “there is inadequate evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of infection with Helicobacter pylori”. Since then, experimental evidence of carcinogenicity has been documented, especially utilizing the Mongolian gerbil model [2]. In 2009 the evidence was reevaluated and confirmed by the IARC [3]. H. pylori is associated with causation of gastric adenocarcinoma and gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma [3]. Since gastric adenocarcinomas account for more than 90% of all gastric malignancies [4], this review will focus on adenocarcinomas.Although gastric cancer rates have been decreasing in many countries, this disease is the second most common cause of death from cancer worldwide and ranks fourth worldwide in cancer incidence (Table 1)[5]. Approximately one million new cases were estimated in 2007 [6]. There are marked differences in gastric cancer rates among populations worldwide. The highest incidence rates are in Japan, Korea, China, Eastern Europe and the Andean portions of Latin America. Lower rates are seen in Africa, Oceania, North America, and Brazil (Fig. 1). Despite the low overall rates in gastric cancer incidence and mortality in the United States, there are some ethnic groups at increased risk, including African Americans, Native Americans, and immigrants from East Asia and Latin America [7–9]. In addition, although overall incidence rates of gastric cancer have been steadily declining in the United States, a recent observational study based on data from the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End
