Article Synopsis
- In Nigeria, gastric cancer ranks as the 10th most common and 9th most deadly cancer, but there is limited data available to fully understand it.
- A study evaluated 138 patients diagnosed with gastric cancer over 15 years, finding that most patients presented with significant weight loss and anorexia, and many had advanced disease.
- Most patients received some form of treatment, with nearly half undergoing both chemotherapy and surgery, though over 50% were deceased by the time of follow-up, highlighting the need for improved data quality and timely interventions.
