ABSTRACT

Objective: characterize patients with gastric cancer and describe their evolution with the treatment indicated.
Methods: an observational descriptive study was conducted of 50 patients from the municipality of Caimito diagnosed with gastric cancer throughout 15 years. The variables studied were age; gender; personal history of gastric disease; family, occupational and nutritional history; antecedents of exposure to toxic substances, and evolution with the treatment indicated.
Results: the largest number of patients diagnosed and deceased corresponds to the People's Councils of Caimito and Costa Norte. 32 patients were male and 18 female. The patients who remained alive at the end of the study period were five of the twenty who underwent surgical treatment, two of the nine who were treated with surgery plus polychemotherapy, and one of the three treated with radiotherapy plus surgery. 46 % of the patients had a history of gastritis, 22 % of ulcer and 60% had family antecedents of tumors, either digestive or not.
Conclusions: the patients affected were mainly male and elderly, with a history of gastric disease and exposure to toxic substances, and family antecedents of digestive or extradigestive tumoral disease. Patients who received surgical treatment, either alone or combined, had a better prognosis.
