Early-stage stomach cancer diagnoses increased by about 53% between 2004 and 2021, according to a study published May 3 in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and presented at the 2025 Digestive Disease Week annual meeting.
Here are three notes on the study:
- As early-stage diagnoses increased, diagnoses of more advanced stomach cancer cases “dropped significantly,” according to a May 3 news release.
- Cleveland Clinic researchers utilized the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results data for their analysis.
- Mohamed Tausif Siddiqui, MD, a gastroenterology fellow at Cleveland Clinic and lead study author, said the findings may be attributed to increased uptake of early detection strategies and newer endoscopic technologies.
