Among men, 683 754 cases were diagnosed, accounting for 7.2% of all cancer cases, and among women, stomach cancer was diagnosed in 349 947 cases, accounting for 4.1% of all cancer cases. [96] In 2012, stomach cancer was the fifth most-common cancer with 952,000 cases diagnosed. [16] It is more common both in men and in developing countries.

Linitis plastica (sometimes referred to as leather bottle stomach) is a morphological variant of diffuse stomach cancer in which the stomach wall becomes thick and rigid.

Cancer of the stomach, also called gastric cancer, is the fourth-most-common type of cancer and the second-highest cause of cancer death globally. [2] Eastern Asia (China, Japan, Korea, Mongolia) is a high-risk area for gastric cancer, and North America, Australia, New Zealand and western and northern Africa are areas with low risk. [5]
The median age at diagnosis is 38 years. An estimated 1-3% of gastric cancers are associated with hereditary cancer syndromes. HDGC is the most common hereditary cancer syndrome of the stomach. [4] HDGC was originally discovered through studies of Maori families in New Zealand that were noted to have increased incidences of gastric cancer. [2]
For localized cancer cases, antrectomy can eliminate early-stage cancer in the third (lower) portion of the stomach. Moreover, antrectomy is able to treat PUD and GOO by the removal of malignant tissues which controls early-stage gastric cancer while retaining sufficient portions of the stomach for adequate digestion and nutrition uptake.
