The Role of microRNAs in Helicobacter pylori Pathogenesis and Gastric Carcinogenesis
1 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
Gastric carcinogenesis is a multistep process orchestrated by aberrancies in the genetic and epigenetic regulation of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Chronic infection with Helicobacter pylori is the strongest known risk factor for the development of gastric cancer.
