Is there a high chance of developing stomach cancer from Helicobacter pylori infection?

Is there a high chance that infection with Helicobacter pylori will lead to stomach cancer?

In 1994, the World Health Organization and the International Cancer Union determined that Helicobacter pylori is a high-risk factor for gastric cancer and plays a certain role in the development and onset of gastric cancer. After Helicobacter pylori infection, age is also closely related to whether gastric cancer will occur. Relatively speaking, if Helicobacter pylori infection occurs in childhood, the chance of developing gastric cancer is relatively high.

Being positive for Helicobacter pylori does not mean that you will definitely get gastric cancer in the future. Being positive for Helicobacter pylori is only one link in the pathogenesis of gastric cancer. The body's own factors and environmental factors are also crucial to the occurrence of gastric cancer. The cytotoxins and vacuolating toxins produced by Helicobacter pylori destroy the g cells in the gastric antrum, causing a low acid environment in the stomach, which can subsequently cause atrophic gastritis.
