胃癌具有广泛的地理变异性。发病率高的亚洲国家包括日本、中国和韩国;发病率低的国家包括印度、巴基斯坦和泰国。直到最近，胃癌还是全球第二大常见癌症。现在它已经移动到第三位，仅次于乳腺癌。它是癌症死亡的第二大常见原因（每年有734，000人死亡）[1]。三分之二的病例发生在发展中国家。在低风险和高风险地区，男性的发病率是女性的两倍。
Gastric cancer has a wide geographic variation. Countries in Asia with a high incidence include Japan, China, and South Korea; those with a low incidence include India, Pakistan, and Thailand. Until recently gastric cancer was the second most common cancer worldwide. Now it has moved to the third place, behind breast cancer. It is the second most common cause of death from cancer (734 000 deaths annually)[1]. Two-thirds of the cases occur in developing countries. Incidence rates in men are twice those in women, in both low-risk and high-risk areas.
