Vaccinating against Helicobacter pylori-induced gastric cancer

胃癌是癌症相关死亡的第三大原因。大多数胃癌是由幽门螺杆菌感染引起的炎症引起的。大多数感染是可以用抗生素治疗的，但这并不能防止在感染被诊断出来之前发生的癌症。针对这种感染的常规疫苗方法没有成功。我们已经确定了一种通过预防炎症来预防胃癌的新方法；该项目旨在研制这种疫苗。

Stomach cancer is the 3rd leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Most stomach cancers result from inflammation due to Helicobacter pylori infection. Most infections are treatable with antibiotics but this does not protect against cancers that develop before infection is diagnosed. Normal vaccine approaches aimed at this infection have been unsuccessful. We have identified a new approach for protecting against stomach cancer by preventing inflammation; this project aims to develop this vaccine.
