Epidémiologie du cancer gastrique: expérience d’un centre hospitalier marocain

Abstract: Le cancer de l'estomac est représenté essentiellement par Les adénocarcinomes gastriques, ces derniers demeurent l'une des dix premières causes mondiales de mortalité avec un pronostic qui est péjoratif. Son incidence reste variable à travers le monde, elle est caractérisée par une importante disparité géographique. Le but de notre travail est de décrire les caractéristiques épidémiologiques de l'adénocarcinome gastrique dans notre contexte à travers une étude rétrospective, observationnelle étalée sur une pér… Show more

“…In this study, other risk factors, such as obesity (BMI > 30), smoking status, nutrition/consuming salty preserved products, low socioeconomic status, having a family member with GC and the age groups of 56–65 and 66–75 were positively associated with GC. Our findings with regard to smoking being a significant risk factor for gastric cancer (GC) align with the results of several Arab studies [ 34 ], which increases the odds of developing GC by a factor of three [ 37 ]. Similar observations have been made in Lebanon, where smoking has also been recognized as a major risk factor for GC [ 38 ].…”

“…11 The mean age reported in our study agrees with data observed in a Moroccan study conducted by Mellouki et al, who stated a mean age of 58±13.4 years. 12 The prevalence of gastric cancer is about twice as high among men than women. 13 The most common histological variant in our study was adenocarcinoma (85.84%) followed by lymphoma (6.2%) and GIST (5.3%).…”

“…21 Risk factors for non-cardia cancers include Helicobacter pylori infection, low socioeconomic status, smoking, intake of salty and smoked food, and low consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables. [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] The decrease in incidence of non-cardia cancers likely reflects a diminishing prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection due to improved sanitation, increasing availability of fresh fruits and vegetables, and decreasing use of salt-and smoke-based food preservation methods. In contrast to non-cardia cancers, incidence rates of cardia cancers have either increased or remained constant in Western countries.…”
