| Popis: | Stomach cancer is essentially represented by gastric adenocarcinomas. It remains one of the world's top ten causes of death with a poor prognosis. The aim of our work is to describe the epidemiological characteristics of gastric adenocarcinoma through a retrospective, observational study over a period of one year. One hundred and twenty one cases were sent to the Pathology Laboratory of the IPM-Casablanca, 98 were selected for this study. There was a male predominance. Patients aged over 50 years represented the predominant age group (62%) (P-value=0.03). The average tumor size was 5,17±2,16cm, and most patients were diagnosed in the advanced TNM stage with a rate of 72.44%. In the absence of specific symptoms, gastric adenocarcinoma is a cancer of elderly, frequently diagnosed at a late stage, minimizing the chances of any curable treatment. The adoption of a screening policy in our area would probably be beneficial. Indeed, the benefit of annual screening at least among people aged over 50 years should be assessed. |
