Stomach cancer is not as common in the United States as it is in the rest of the world, accounting for only 1.5% of total diagnosed cancers annually.
The average age for a stomach cancer diagnosis is 68. The lifetime risk for stomach cancer in men is 1 in 101 and about 1 in 155 for women.
For the last 10 years, stomach cancer rates in the US have dropped by 1.5% each year. This was a leading cause of death in the early 20th century, but advances in refrigeration technology and treatments for Helicobacter pylori infection have allowed for better survival rates.
