Systematic Review with Meta-analysis: Association of Helicobacter pylori Infection with Esophageal Cancer.

Conclusion: In the general populations, no significant association was found between Helicobacter pylori infection and the risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. However, lower risk was found in the Middle East. Helicobacter pylori infection may reduce the risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma, but such "protection effect" may be overestimated.
