- Abstract
Gastric cancer is a frequent malignancy in the Uruguayan population. In northern counties, incidence rates reach high figures (age-standardized rates [ASR], 37.3 per 100,000 men and 18.3 per 100,000 women). Diet is a major determinant in gastric carcinogenesis. Because foods or food groups have the advantage over nutrients in being most directly related to dietary recommendations, we decided to conduct a case-control study on the relationships between food groups and risk of gastric cancer. For this purpose, we included 240 cases and 960 controls.
