The relationship between severity of gastric inflammation due to Helicobacter pylori and colorectal malignancies

Abstract

Objective: Several factors play role in colorectal carcinogenesis. Among these factors, helicobacter pylori infection is supposed to be one of the causative factors. Previous studies were focused on investigation of the relationship between helicobacter pylori existence and colon carcinomas by particular serological diagnostic tests. The aim of our study was to determine the effect of the helicobacter pylori infection and the severity of inflammation related to this infection on the colon carcinomas and non carcinoma colon mass lesions(tubular adenoma, tubulovillous adenoma, hyperplastic polyp).
Method: A retrospective study was conducted at Kecioren Teaching - Research Hospital between 2010 to 2018. The files of 657 patients who underwent colonoscopy and were diagnosed as colon benign or malign mass lesions were examined retrospectively from the hospital database. Two hundred five patients who had undergone both upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and colonoscopies were included in the study. The presence and severity of inflammation due to helicobacter pylori were evaluated by histopathological examination of biopsies taken during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. The severity of H. pylori inflammation was graded according to the Sydney classification
Results: In the comparison of colon carcinoma with other colon mass lesions group, there was no statistical significance in terms of gender (P= 0.094) and H. pylori serology (P= 0.998). However, the degree of inflammation was significantly high in patients with colon carcinoma than other colon mass lesions (P< 0.001).
Conclusions: The fact that the severity of helicobacter pylori inflammation is higher in patients with colon carcinoma than patients with non-carcinoma colonic mass lesions suggests that inflammation due to helicobacter pylori may be more important than the presence of helicobacter pylori in the carcinogenesis of colon cancer.
