ABSTRACT

Gastric cancer is a health problem worldwide. In order to characterize the disease, a descriptive prospective study was conducted at the Arnaldo Milian Castro and the Celestino Hernández Robau University Hospitals during 2009. It measured socio-demographic, clinical, endoscopic and histological variables. The most common risk factors in patients with gastric cancer were the male sex (64.3%), an age between 51 and 60 years (35.7%), insufficient consumption of fruits and vegetables (81.0%), blood group A (45.2%) and chronic gastritis (26.2%). The main symptom was epigastric pain (64.3%) and the predominant signs were hematemesis and melena, both in 16.7% of cases. The main endoscopic findings were the ulcerated type of gastric cancer and a location at the level of the body (56.1% and 29.3% respectively). The diffuse-type adenocarcinoma was the predominant histologic type (56.4%), and the early diagnosis of gastric cancer is the key to a successful treatment.
