Gastric cancer in Iceland: A retrospective study of resected gastric specimens in a high‐risk country during 30 years (1960–1989)
Abstract The world‐wide incidence of gastric cancer is decreasing, especially in high‐risk populations such as the Icelanders. We examined retrospectively 1,040 specimens of resected gastric cancers from a 30‐year period, 1960–1989. The decrease in incidence in both sexes involved mainly the largest...
