- Abstract
Helicobacter pylori infection is the most important risk factor for gastric cancer, but no association with cardia cancer has been recognized. However, a heterogeneous distribution of etiologically distinct types of cardia cancer may contribute to explain conflicting findings between studies in high- and low-risk settings. We aimed to quantify the association between H. pylori infection and gastric cardia cancer through meta-analysis, and to provide an explanation for the expected heterogeneity of results.
