Gastric (Stomach) Cancer, Helicobacter Infection
Conditions
Brief summary
This study is intended to be a prospective observational cohort study. The incidence of gastric cancer and progression of gastric precancerous lesions will be compared between groups through prospective follow-up of a population with baseline negative gastric endoscopy, harboring high-risk Hp SNP subtypes and non-high-risk subtypes.
Detailed description
Primary study objective: to assess the difference in the incidence of gastric cancer between carriers of high-risk SNP subtypes of H. pylori and the non-high-risk population during the follow-up period. Secondary research objectives: 1. To observe and compare the cumulative incidence and progression of gastric precancerous lesions (e.g., atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, etc.) in each population group during the follow-up period.2. To explore the interaction of high-risk SNPs on the risk of gastric cancer in the context of different age, gender or other risk factors (e.g. diet, smoking, alcohol abuse, family history, etc.).
Interventions
By prospectively following a population of asymptomatic carriers carrying high-risk Hp SNP subtypes and non-high-risk subtypes, the incidence of gastric cancer and progression of gastric precancerous lesions were compared between the groups.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
: 1. Age ≥ 40 years, gender is not limited. 2. Able and willing to provide informed consent and willing to undergo baseline and follow-up examinations.
Exclusion criteria
1. A history of diagnosed gastric cancer or other malignant tumors of the digestive tract. 2. Comorbid severe underlying conditions (e.g., severe cardiopulmonary insufficiency, liver or renal failure, etc.) that are likely to result in a short life expectancy or render long-term follow-up impractical. 3. Severe mental illness or incapacity to participate in the study due to lack of civil behavior. 4. Pregnant or breastfeeding women. 5. Other conditions that the investigator deems inappropriate for participation in the study.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Difference in incidence of gastric cancer between the three groups (HP positive high-risk, HP positive non-high-risk, and HP negative) during a 3-year follow-up. | From enrollment to the end of the study in 3 years | Evaluate the difference in the incidence of gastric cancer between high-risk and non-high-risk groups, while considering the comparison with the HP negative group. The comparison between the three groups (HP positive high-risk, HP positive non-high-risk, and HP negative) will assess the difference in gastric cancer incidence during a 3-year follow-up. Gastric cancer incidence will be determined based on pathological confirmation (biopsy results). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Difference in incidence of gastric cancer between the three groups (HP positive high-risk, HP positive non-high-risk, and HP negative) at 5-, and 10-year follow-up time points. | From enrollment to the end of the study in 10 years | Evaluate the difference in the incidence of gastric cancer between high-risk and non-high-risk groups, while considering the comparison with the HP negative group. The comparison between the three groups (HP positive high-risk, HP positive non-high-risk, and HP negative) will assess the difference in gastric cancer incidence at 5-, and 10-year follow-up time points. Gastric cancer incidence will be determined based on pathological confirmation (biopsy results). |
| Differences in the incidence of gastric precancerous lesions among three groups (Hp-positive high-risk, Hp-positive non-high-risk, and Hp-negative) at 3-, 5-, and 10-year follow-up time points. | From enrollment to the end of the study in 10 years | Evaluate the difference in the incidence of precancerous lesions between high-risk and non-high-risk groups at 3-, 5-, and 10-year follow-up time points, while considering the HP negative group. This comparison will also help assess the effect of HP infection on the development of precancerous lesions. |
