Gastric cancer in children infected with <i>Helicobacter pylori</i>
Our study finds that <i>H. pylori</i> infection in childhood is associated with an increased risk of precancerous gastric conditions and that family history might provide an additional risk. These insights recommend the necessity of early <i>H. pylori</i> detection and intervention and management strategies in childhood, especially in those families with histories of gastric cancer.
