BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer (GC) accounts for the greatest disparity in cancer mortality between Black and White Americans. Although clinical trials have shown that Helicobacter pylori (Hp) treatment reduces risk of GC, Hp testing and treatment is not consistently performed in the US, and may offer an opportunity to improve survival.
METHODS: In a diverse retrospective cohort of 99 GC cases diagnosed at Duke University from 2002-2020 (57% Black; 43% white), we examined the association of Hp testing and treatment prior to or at cancer diagnosis with overall survival using Cox regression analyses to calculate adjusted hazards ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
RESULTS: Overall, 62% of patients were tested for Hp prior to or at GC diagnosis. Of those, 25% tested positive and were treated < 1 year prior to or at diagnosis, 15% tested positive and were treated ≥ 1 year prior to diagnosis, 6% tested positive without evidence of treatment, and 54% tested negative. Compared to never tested, Hp testing and treatment < 1 year prior to or at diagnosis was associated with a significantly reduced likelihood of death (HR 0.21, 95% CI 0.08-0.58). The benefit of any Hp test and treat prior to or at GC diagnosis was significant even among stage IV patients only (HR, 0.22; 95% CI 0.05-0.96).
CONCLUSIONS: These findings support Hp testing and treatment for patients at risk of or diagnosed with GC, and suggest Hp treatment may provide an opportunity to reduce GC mortality disparities in the US.
