Some of the vessels will be converted for non strategic uses while others will be deactivated or decommissioned said it. Cmdr. David Morris of Norfolk naval base a. In the stars and stripes Boston apr scientists reported thursday a common germ that causes most ulcers is also responsible for about 60 percent of All stomach cancer. Because the germ is so ubiquitous and stomach cancer by comparison so rare experts disagreed Over whether doctors should use antibiotics to try to kill the bacteria whenever people have them. The germ Heli Cobacker Pylori is one of the most common inhabitants of the digestive system. While it can cause ulcers and gastritis an inflammation of the stomach lining most people who carry the germ suffer no symptoms at All. However the new research concludes that this microbe probably working in concert with other factors such As some kinds of food raises the risk of getting stomach cancer the worlds second largest cancer killer. The findings were contained in two studies directed by drs. Julie Parsonnet of californians Stanford University and Abraham Nomura of Kuakini medical Center in Honolulu. They were published in the new England journal of Medicine. Heli Cobacker can be killed with a combination of antibiotics and Bismuth. About 20 percent of All americans Are infected with Heli Cobacker. Parsonnet estimated that 1 in 125 of these people will get stomach cancer. This is about 10 times higher than the risk for people who Are free of the infection. She said that because the germ is so common it makes no sense to track Down every infected person and treat the bacteria. However or. Barry Marshall of the University of Virginia disagreed. He and colleagues discovered the bacteria and its link with ulcers while at Royal Perth Hospital in Australia a decade ago. A if Heli Cobacker presents a cancer risk maybe we should be tracking it Down and treating people even if it does no to cause symptoms a he said. Stomach cancer has declined steadily Over the past 60 years in developed countries and now takes about 13,000 lives annually in the United states. However in much of Asia and latin America it is very common. And worldwide stomach cancer remains the second most common form of cancer after lung cancer. A infection alone almost certainly is not enough to cause cancer a said Parsonnet. A there must be other co factors such As diet genetics or toxins. Now we need to look at those and identify people at very High risk so we can treat  or. Pelayo Correa of Louisiana state University said two eating habits a High Salt intake and few fresh fruits and vegetables a May each be As important As Heli Cobacker in causing stomach cancer. 4 marines killed in helicopter crash Calipatria Calif.
