Leading gastroenterologists at MCSC are conducting a large study of the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori and precancerous changes in Moscow residents. Why is this important?The bacterium H. pylori is transmitted from person to person and causes chronic active gastritis in all infected.
Prolonged inflammation in some cases leads to the development of adenocarcinoma (cancer) of the stomach.
The risk is especially high in first-line relatives who have been diagnosed with this. But stomach cancer can be prevented, since at least 90% of cases of this disease are caused by the bacterium H. pylori.
Helicobacter infection is treated! Timely diagnosis can dramatically reduce the risk of developing stomach cancer, as well as peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum. We invite Muscovites to take part in free testing. What is necessary for this?Have a Moscow residence permit or attachment to a Moscow polyclinic.
What is included in the study?13C-urease breath test for H. pylori.
