Case description

The site of the cancer is classified on the basis of its relationship to the long axis of the stomach. Approximately 40% of cancers develop in the lower part, 40% in the middle part, and 15% in the upper part, and 10% involve more than one part of the organ. Over the past half century or so, there has been a steady decline in gastric cancer incidence and gastric cancer deaths in men and women in the United States. Most of this decrease has occurred in the intestinal type of gastric cancer. In addition, the incidence of gastric cardia adenocarcinoma has actually gradually increased.
