Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The exact incidence of linitis plastica is unknown.[1]
- The incidence for gastric cancer overall in 2012 was 7.2 per 100,000 in the United States.
- Linitis plastica was previously thought to account for 10% of gastric cancer, but now may account for as much as 30% of gastric cancers.
- There has been a gradual decline in the incidence of linitis plastica.
Prevalence
- The exact prevalence of linitis plastica is unknown.[1]
- The prevalence of gastric cancer is estimated to be 22,220 cases annually.
- The prevalence of linitis plastica is approximately 23.5 per 100,000 in 2011 in the United States.
Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate
The 5-year survival rate for linitis plastica is around 10-20% in Japan and Europe.[1]
