Helicobacter pylori serological biomarkers of gastric cancer risk in the MCC-Spain case-control Study

Conclusions In our population, people seropositive for H. pylori were characterized by two patterns of antibody reactivity against H. pylori proteins: 1) Combined high seroreactivity against several proteins, associated with a lower non-cardia gastric cancer risk, and 2) High seroreactivity against CagA and VacA, associated with an increased risk.
