H.pylori infection is associated with increased risk of: (A) Proximal gastric cancer, (B) Carcinoma of body and pylorus of stamach, (C) Carcinoma of duodenum first pa, (D) Carcinoma involving gastroesophageal junction

It is not associated with h.pylori but is associated with obesity and socioeconomic status. Bailey and Love 26 th ed: pg 1046
