Abstract

Long term gastric inflammation (chronic gastritis) and its coupled tumourigenic inflammatory milieu (Reactive Oxygen/ Nitrogen Species (RO/NS), cytokines, etc.) is seen to impact cells at several levels, and as such is seen to be a major driving force of gastric carcinogenesis. The goal of this inve...
