virulence and the diversity of gastric cancer in Asia Free

Abstract

Infection with positive strains of is recognized as being associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer. This article reviews the current knowledge on the structures and pathological functions of and the CagA protein, focusing especially on the molecular mechanism through which CagA may be involved in gastric carcinogenesis. The possible link between the geographical distribution of and variations and gastric cancer diversity in Asia is also discussed.
