Presentation, Treatment, and Survival Among Asians With Gastric Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

In aggregate, Asian patients have a higher incidence and mortality from gastric cancer (GC) than Non-Hispanic White (NHW) patients. However, there is a lack of data regarding outcomes among Asian-American subpopulations with GC.

Methods

The National Cancer Database was used to identify patients with GC between 2004 and 2020. Asian patients were disaggregated by region, with a further subanalysis of Eastern Asians. Outcomes of interest included the initial localized/regional presentation versus metastatic disease and cancer care measures including undergoing surgical excision or resection for stages I-III, receiving guideline-concordant care, receiving delayed treatment (> 90 days for any treatment type), and overall survival. Outcomes were adjusted for patient/d
