ABSTRACT
Cancer of the stomach is the second in incidence in Panama after the cancer of the prostata. It is studied now the incidence of infection due to Helicobacter pylori in patients with gastric carcinoma. It seems to be a significative relationship between the prevalence of gastric carcinoma and H. pylori infections. This observation is important because by the similar therapeutic implications in virus DNA hepatitis type B and hepatoma.
