Abstract

Objective: Although the importance of environmental and occupational exposure to carcinogenic agents in pulmonary carcinoma is well known, some other factors, such as familial predisposition, genetic abnormalities, and recently, the presence of Helicobacter pylori infection, are being disputed. This study focused on the relationship between pulmonary carcinoma and H. pylori infection.
