Background: Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with the incidence of gastric cancer. Endoscopic resection\nhas been developed as a proper technique to treat early stage of gastric cancer. However, some patients develop\nrecurrent gastric cancer within 5 years after endoscopic treatment. The aim of the present study is to explore a\nbiomarker for detecting people who has high risk of gastric cancer recurrence.\nMethods: We analyzed the Interleukin-10 (IL-10) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and IgG subclass responses\nto the bacteria in patients with early gastric cancer and recurrent gastric cancer.\nResults: Patients with hetero-type in the 1082 SNP and CC genotype in the 592 SNP were at high risk of recurrence\nof gastric cancer. In patients with genotype carrying high risk of recurrence, IgG1 level tended to be higher than\nthat in patients with other genotypes.\nConclusions: Dominance of T helper 2 (Th2) immunity controlled by IL-10 cytokine may be associated with H. pyloriassociated\ngastric cancer recurrence.
