Article Synopsis
- The study found significant genetic variability in virulence factors linked to gastric adenocarcinoma, which could affect the disease's initiation and progression.
- A cross-sectional analysis of 281 gastric adenocarcinoma samples from the Brazilian Amazon revealed that 32.03% tested positive for specific bacteria, with higher positivity in older patients and those with metastases.
- Among the positive samples, a majority carried specific virulence gene variations, indicating a strong association between the bacterial infection and the malignant features of the cancer, although virulence factors did not influence age or metastasis.
