Prevalence of Helicobacter Pylori Infection and Gastric Cancer in the West Indies

Summary

Estimating the prevalence of Helicobacter Pylori infection in newly diagnosed stomach cancers in the West-Indies will help to understand the epidemiology of this cancer, which is over-incident in the West Indies compared to France.
