Abstract
BACKGROUND: , and other rare subtypes of gastric cancer is less clear. This study comprehensively evaluated the incidence trend and the survival of gastric cancer in Taiwan by histologic subtype. METHODS: The incidence trends of gastric cancer in Taiwan from 1996 and 2013 were evaluated using data from the Taiwan Cancer Registry. The life-table method and the Cox proportional hazards analysis were used to evaluate the survival of gastric cancer. RESULTS: < 0.0001). In contrast, the incidences of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma did not decrease. CONCLUSIONS: , showed diverging trends. The survival of gastric cancer differed by histologic subtype and sex. IMPACT: , warranted the need to search for additional risk factors of gastric lymphoma.
