The current and future incidence and mortality of gastric cancer in 185 countries, 2020-40: A population-based modelling study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To examine global patterns of gastric cancer in 2020 and the projected burden in 2040.

Methods

Data on primary gastric cancer were extracted from the GLOBOCAN database for the year 2020. Age-standardized incidence and mortality rates were calculated by sex, country, world region and level of human development index (HDI) for 185 countries. The predicted burden of incidence and mortality in 2040 was calculated based on demographic projections.

Findings

In total, ∼1.1 million new cases and 770,000 deaths of gastric cancer were estimated in 2020. Incidence rates were on average 2-fold higher in males than females (15.8 and 7.0 per 100,000, respectively) with variation across countries. Highest incidence rates were observed in Eastern Asia for both males and fe
