Global, regional, and national trends in gastric cancer burden: 1990-2021 and projections to 2040.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Gastric cancer (GC) is a common malignancy of the digestive system, with significant geographical variation in its disease burden.

Methods

This study used data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2021 to analyze three key indicators: incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). Initially, a detailed analysis of the GC burden was conducted from global, regional, national, gender, and age perspectives. Subsequently, the percentage change and average annual percent change (AAPC) of GC were calculated to understand the trends in disease burden. Decomposition analysis and frontier analysis were then performed. Finally, the Bayesian age-period-cohort model was used to predict the trends in age-standardized rates (ASR
