ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating how common Helicobacter Pylori infection is among people who have recently been diagnosed with stomach cancer in the West Indies. Helicobacter Pylori is a type of bacteria that can lead to stomach problems, and this study aims to understand its role in stomach cancer, which is more frequently seen in the West Indies compared to France. Researchers will collect samples of tumor tissues, healthy tissues, and blood to help identify other risk factors related to this type of cancer, especially environmental influences.

To participate, individuals must be over 18 years old, have been living in Martinique for at least six months, and have a confirmed diagnosis of stomach cancer. They should also be able to read the information provided and agree to take part in the study. Participants can expect to answer questionnaires and provide samples for research, which will contribute to better understanding and prevention of stomach cancer in the future. It's also important to note that the trial is not yet recruiting participants, so those interested will need to wait for it to start.
