A population-based study on incidence rates, Lauren distribution, stage distribution, treatment, and long-term outcomes for gastric adenocarcinoma in Central Norway 2001-2011.

CONCLUSIONS: This study provides population-derived data lacking in hospital-based studies. Lauren categories with epidemiological aspects and clinical outcomes are displayed. Gastric cancer was associated with a dismal prognosis. Few patients had EGC and close to 50% had metastatic disease. Many were too old or frail to be considered for surgery.
