A rising trend of gastric cardia cancer in Gansu Province of China.
Cancer Letters(2008)
Abstract
We evaluated the incidence, age, gender, and anatomical distribution of gastric cancers in 65,284 cases of upper GI endoscopies. A total of 5253 gastric cancer cases were identified. Cancers of the cardia, fundus, body and antrum account for 33.6%, 2.7%, 23.6% and 34.0% of all cases, respectively. The mean age for gastric cancers was 56.9±10.2 years and 69.7% of the cancer cases were found in the 50–69 year age group. Subjects with cardia cancer were slightly older than subjects with non-cardia cancer. Over the 12-year period, the incidence of the gastric antrum cancer had significantly declined, whereas the incidence of the gastric cancer in the cardia and body had risen steadily. Thus, there was a rising trend of cardia cancers and a decreasing trend of most non-cardia cancers.
