BACKGROUND: Helicobacter pylori is an important cause of stomach cancer that infects a substantial proportion of the Canadian adult population. H pylori can be detected by noninvasive tests and effectively eradicated by medical treatment. Screening for and treatment of H pylori may represent a significant opportunity for preventive oncology.METHODS: Cancer Care Ontario organized a workshop held in Toronto, Ontario, on October 24 and 25, 2002, to: review the current state of knowledge regarding H pylori treatment and cancer prevention; determine if there is currently sufficient evidence to consider the promotion of H pylori treatment for the purpose of cancer prevention; identify critical areas for research; and advise Cancer Care Ontario on H pylori and cancer prevention.RESULTS: Workshop participants developed a number of recommendations for research into the relationship between H pylori and stomach cancer, including determining the prevalence of infection in different regions of Canada, the pathogenetic sequence of carcinogenesis from H pylori infection, and the implementation of a prospective observational study.INTERPRETATION: Although the rate of H pylori infection is declining in Canada and the treatment of H pylori is generally accepted to be safe, the evidence to date may not warrant the implementation of population screening for H pylori infection to prevent gastric carcinoma in average-risk populations. Rather, a demonstration project is needed to estimate prevalence, evaluate the merits of screening, measure patient compliance and physician participation, develop education materials, establish a registry for monitoring and evaluation, and develop a quality assurance framework.

The study presents modern data concerning the place of the stomach cancer among othermalignant neoplasms, causes of its rise, methods of diagnostics and prevention. The studyshows the disease incidence indices, the disease detection in Ukraine and other highlydeveloped countries of the European Union and describes the main directions of thescientific investigations and ways to solve the problem of cancer prevention and earlydiagnostics.The purpose of the article is to analyse the literature data as to the stomach cancer placeamong other malignant neoplasms, causes of its rise, methods of the diagnostics andprevention.Conclusion. The organizational and legislative measures, aimed at efficacy increaseof the preventive steps, concerning malignant tumor neoplasms and stomach cancer inparticular, are absolutely necessary in Ukraine. Information about the factors, whichlead to the tumor disease development, not only increases the percentage of the tumorpathology detection on early stages, but significantly promotes individual prophylaxis.

Objective of the Review: to analyse available data on stomach cancer prevention. Key Points. Key risk factors for stomach cancer are male gender, age of >50 years old, Helicobacter pylori and smoking. A number of international consensus opinions regulate screening, diagnostics and treatment of precancer changes in stomach; it is assumed to reduce the incidence of this disease. H. pylori eradication is the key method of primary stomach cancer prevention. Modern studies demonstrate that the optimal method of H. pylori eradication is the therapy with bismuth medication, proton pump inhibitor, amoxycillin and clarithromycin for 10–14 days. Conclusion. The most efficient method of stomach cancer prevention is H. pylori eradication, smoking cessation, diet with plenty of vegetables and fruit. Secondary prevention is optimisation of diagnostics, follow-up and treatment of precancer stomach conditions. Keywords: stomach cancer, gastratrophia, Helicobacter pylori, prevention.
