Brief summary
This is an observational, retrospective, case-control, single-center, national study that involves the collection of anamnestic, clinical and therapeutic data of patients diagnosed with gastric cancer by histological examination at the Pathological Anatomy Unit (Prof. D'Errico) in the period 2016-2020.
Detailed description
The corresponding medical records will be analyzed to derive information on the socio-demographic characteristics and risk factors of the included subjects. Each case will be paired with two controls chosen from patients who have performed a gastric biopsy with relative histological examination during an endoscopic examination carried out at the IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria of Bologna.
