Implication

Review highlights low gastric cancer incidence but high mortality rates in West Africa, suggesting urgent improvements in diagnostics and treatment are needed.

Key Points

Gastric cancer in West Africa has low reported incidence but high mortality rates, indicating a healthcare crisis.
Over 70% of patients are diagnosed at advanced stages, often after prolonged symptom durations of 4-12 months.
Limited access to treatment options, such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy, severely impairs survival outcomes.
Collaborative research focused on molecular profiles and regional treatment strategies is urgently needed to improve patient care.
