A rising trend of gastric cardia cancer in Gansu Province of China

Patho-epidemiological Features of Esophageal and Gastric Cancers in an Endemic Region: a 20-year Retrospective Study

“…In addition, increasing in mean age of patients during the term of the study was similar to other studies (Popielaet al, 2002;Zhou et al, 2008).…”

“…In addition, our results suggested that sex ratio was 1.53 which is more than study performed in Tabriz province (Bafandeh et al, 2006). Stomach, in the present study, the mean age of patients was about 65 years old which was less than Chinese study (Zhou et al, 2008) and another report from Iran (Aghaei et al, 2013) but similar to some other studies and references (Kumar, 2007;Lauwers, 2009;Babaei et al, 2010;Rampazzo et al, 2012;Rodríguez-Vargas, 2013). In Iran, a study from Khuzestan province (in south of the country) showed a mean age of 60 years (Hajiani et al, 2006) subsequently a study from a referral center in Tehran showed mean age of 56 years (Abdi-Rad et al, 2006).…”

“…A recent study from Golestan province (an endemic region of GI cancers), has reported incident malignancies (Roshandel et al, 2012). Incidence rate of esophageal and gastric cardia cancers has risen in recent decades in some regions of the world (Macfarlane et al, 1994;Devesa et al, 1998;Botterweck et al, 2000;Newnham et al, 2003;Zhou et al, 2008) but in some reports, incidence of esophageal cancer has not largely RESEARCH ARTICLE…”

A Population-based Case-control Study on Risk Factors for Gastric Cardia Cancer in Rural Areas of Linzhou

“…Recent studies indicate that the incidence rate of gastric cardia cancer is as high as esophageal cancer in the high-incidence area of esophageal cancer. Epidemiological studies also have reported an increasing incidence of gastric cardia cancer in some Asian countries during the past few decades (Blaser et al, 2002;Tony et al, 2007;Kusano et al, 2008;Zhou et al, 2008;Deans et al, 2011), owning to the development of the early diagnosis of gastric cardia cancer and its clear definition. Screening program of esophageal and gastric cardia cancer screening of Linzhou in [2005][2006] has proofed it and has also showed the rise of the ratio of esophageal to gastric cardia cancer.…”

Gastric Cardia Cancer: How Much Is It from Fat?

“…Data from prior Asian studies have been inconsistent with regard to the incidence of GCA. Some showed an increase in incidence in Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Singaporean and South Indian populations while others showed no change [19][20][21][22][23][24]. A metaanalysis by Corley et al showed that there was no clear association between GCA and obesity in the Asian population and one study had even showed negative correlation [15,25].…”
