Increasing Incidence and Mortality of Gastric Cancer in Immigrant Populations from High to Low Regions of Incidence - a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Gastric cancer is the leading cause of infection-related cancer death and the third-leading cause of cancer death worldwide. The effect of immigration on gastric cancer risk is not well-defined but might be helpful for screening or surveillance endeavors. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to define the risk of gastric cancer in immigrants from high-incidence regions to low-incidence regions (Western Europe, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Israel, and the United States).
