Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With more than 1 million new cases worldwide in 2020, gastric cancer represents the 5th most common cancer and the 4th most common cause of cancer-related death. Although gastric cancer is a very heterogeneous malignant disease, infection with Helicobacter pylori still represents the major risk factor for its development. This is mainly due to the ability of the bacterium to manipulate the host’s immune response and alter epithelial cell homeostasis. Therefore, the study of the molecular mechanisms by which H. pylori induces gastric pathology is extremely important to understand gastric cancer development and identify novel therapeutic strategies to prevent it.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue “Association of Helicobacter pylori with Gastric Cancer”. In this Special Issue, we will focus on the identification of the mechanisms of infection, alterations of immune and epithelial cell responses, as well as changes in microbiota induced by infection to better understand the contribution of H. pylori infection to gastric carcinogenesis. Original research articles and reviews are welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
