Sažetak
Despite an overall declining incidence, gastric adenocarcinoma remains the second most common cause of death from malignant disease worldwide. About 85 percent of stomach cancers are adenocarcinomas, with 15 percent due to lymphomas and gastrointestinal stromal tumors. High rates are observed in Japan, China, Finland, and Eastern Europe, and low incidence is observed in Western Europe and USA. The annual incidence of gastric cancer in Croatia in the last thirty years is in decline, though it is still rather high at approximately 30 cases per 100, 000 in the male population and 23 cases per 100, 000 in females.
