Abstract

The study aims to assess the possible correlation between the gastric cancer (GC) stage at the detection and survival of patients in 2015-2020 in Georgia.

Methods. Bivariable survival Analysis using Cox’s regression model was constructed. A hazard (mortality) ratio (HR) was estimated by the stage at detection of GC. The level of statistical significance of the study findings is estimated by using the 95% of confidence interval (95%CI).

Results. Totally 2242 GC patients were enrolled in the study. Bivariate statistical analysis has revealed that the risk of early mortality from GC detected at the fourth (HR=4.8; 95%CI=3.3-6.8) and second (HR=1.9; 95%CI=1.3-2.7) or third (HR=2.2; 95%CI=1.5-3.2) stages is almost 5 and 2-times higher accordingly in comparison to cancer detected at the first stage.

Conclusions. A high proportion of GC cases are detected at the late stage in Georgia which is the main predictor of patients’ early mortality.
