The report is part of the EPIC (European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer and Nutrition study), a study based on the experience of patients in 23 centers in ten European countries (Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain , Sweden and United Kingdom).
It is the European study with a larger number of participants: includes 521,457 people between 35 and 70 years who were recruited between 1992 and 1998.
Gastric tumors are the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide, with over one million deaths every year.
