Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this cross-sectional study is to evaluate epigenetic modifications in gastric carcinogenesis, mainly in H. pylori gastritis vs gastric carcinoma. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

* How does H. pylori infection cause gastric cancer?
* Can DNA methylation and other epigenetic changes predict and affect the development of gastric cancer? Formalin-fixed-paraffin-embedded tissue specimens will be obtained and reviewed for comparison between epigenetic changes in H. pylori gastritis and gastric adenocarcinoma.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

H. pylori Gastritis specimens

Immunohistochemical staining for DNMT1 and EZH2

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Immunohistochemical staining for DNMT1 and EZH2 using rabbit monoclonal/polycolonal antibodies with immunoperoxidase staining will be used as a visualization method. Antibodies dilutions, antigen retrieval methods, and incubation time will all be conducted according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Non-H. pylori Gastritis specimens
