title: [Gastric cancer in the IX Region of Chile: an analysis of 233 cases].
abstract: Gastric cancer is the leading cause of mortality from malignancy in Chile. Different reports indicate a high incidence of well differentiated forms of this tumor. Among 233 endoscopically diagnosed lesions in patients from the Ninth Region of Chile, we found a high incidence of poorly differentiated tumors and a relatively high incidence of signet-ring cell carcinoma. The incidence of inoperable lesions was high.
