Abstract
- HIV infection has been shown to increase the risk of developing some malignancies. We evaluated the possibility of an association between gastric cancer and HIV infection in patients seen at the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia. Other known risk factors such as infection with Helicobacter pylori (H. Pylori), presence of CagA, serum pepsinogen 1 to 2 ratios, smoking and alcohol intake were also evaluated.
