Gastric cancer in Sub-Saharan Africa - a systematic review of primary data

CONCLUSION: This systemic review demonstrates that GC incidence is highly variable across SSA. The limited data on GC treatment, mortality, and survival presents a significant challenge to providing a complete epidemiologic description of the burden of GC in SSA. There is a need for further robust data collection, exploration, and research studies on cancer care in SSA, with continued assessment of primary data availability.PMID:38566758 | PMC:PMC10984845 | DOI:10.3332/ecancer.2024.1680
