Analysis reveals rising stomach cancer cases despite declining rates in incidence and death, highlighting risk factors and future projections.

Incidence of stomach cancer rose from 980,899 in 1990 to 1,230,233 in 2021, indicating a growing public health challenge.
Age-standardized incidence and death rates declined, with ASIR dropping from 24.76 to 14.33 per 100,000 people, highlighting successful interventions.
Analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 shows East Asia has the highest burden, primarily linked to dietary habits and smoking.
The study emphasizes the need for targeted interventions in low socio-demographic index regions to help alleviate the stomach cancer burden.

Zhou et al. (2025) studied this question.
