Helicobacter pylori and hepatocellular carcinoma: correlated or uncorrelated?
Abstract
Helicobacter pylori can be detected in liver tissue resected from patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Conflicting reports regarding the relationship between H. pylori and hepatocellular carcinoma mean it is uncertain whether H. pylori acts as a troublemaker, co-risk factor or innocent bystander to the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. Clinical studies in patients without known causes of hepatocellular carcinoma are important to discover whether H. pylori is involved in the carcinogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma. High quality prospective studies in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatitis C virus infection and no cirrhosis are needed to determine whether H. pylori is a co-risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma.
