Helicobacter pylori(HP) is a significant causative agent of gastric cancer (GC). However, the underlying mechanisms involved in its pathogenesis and association with oncoproteins are unclear. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between HP infection and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression in GC patients.
