Background/Aims: Recently, with knowing the fact that Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) was associated with cause of the stomach cancer, there has been culminating interest of the epidemiology of stomach cancer. We estimate the incidence of the stomach cancer in Chuncheon-si during 2000∼2002 and compare that to the previous report of 10 years ago.
Methods: From July 1, 2000 to June 30, 2002, we investigated newly diagnosed subjects living in Chuncheon-si. The data were collected through medical records from all medical facilities located in Chuncheon-si.
Results: The total cases of stomach cancer during this period (2000∼2002) were 186 (male 117 cases, female 69 cases). The annual crude incidence rate of stomach cancer was estimated to be 37.0 persons per 100,000 persons in all, 47.0 and 27.2 in male and female. The annual age standardized incidence rate for the Korean population was 33.7 persons per 100,000 persons in all, 42.2 and 25.1 in male and female. Compared with previous report (1992∼1993), the annual crude incidence rate of stomach cancer in all was not decreased. But the annual age standardized incidence rate was decreased.
Conclusions: This study would be a basic epidemiologic data in identifying the effect of the H.pylori eradication on the incidence rate of stomach cancer in the future. (The Korean Journal of Helicobacter and Upper Gastrointestinal Research 2007;7:139-145)
