Ageing, smoking, oral bacteria and genetic mutations linked to higher stomach cancer risk

Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School and the National University Health System (NUHS), together with an international team of researchers, have uncovered a complex interplay of factors that increase the risk of developing stomach cancer (gastric cancer). These factors include genetic and age-related blood mutations, smoking and infection by oral bacteria. Published in Cancer Discovery, the … Continue reading Ageing, smoking, oral bacteria and genetic mutations linked to higher stomach cancer risk
