Role of Helicobacter pylori in the Pathogenesis of Gastric Carcinoma and Progression of Lymphoid Nodules to Lymphoma by M Guindi

“…A model for gastric carcinogenesis is proposed in which H pylori causes cell proliferation, and the risk of DNA damage is increased, leading to inadequate repair and malignant transformation. Investigation of early gastric carcinomas concluded that two main pathways operated in gastric carcinogenesis, both starting from H pylori gastritis and leading to phenotypically variable gastric or intestinal tumour growth. …”
