    Author: Correa P, Cuello C, Gordillo G, Zarama G, Lopez J, Haenszel W, Tannenbaum S.
    Journal: Natl Cancer Inst Monogr; 1979 Nov; (53):167-70. PubMed ID: 43953.
    Abstract:
    The gastric juice of patients with atrophic gastritis from the high-risk gastric cancer region of Nariño, Colombia, was analyzed for nitrate, nitrite, and thiocyanate content. Patients whose gastric juice pH is greater than 5 have significant elevation of nitrite values. The possible role of nitrite in gastric carcinogenesis is discussed.
