Meta-analysis: is sequential therapy superior to standard triple therapy for Helicobacter pylori infection in Asian adults?

abstract：BACKGROUND AND AIM:Recent studies have shown that imbalance between tumor-infiltrating interleukin (IL)-17(+) T cells and regulatory T cells (Tregs) is an important regulator of progression in various cancers, but little is known regarding this imbalance in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study explored the role o...
