Abstract:
Every year, cancer affects more than one million Latin Americans. The increasing incidence of cancer could be secondary to an aging population, westernization of life style, and urbanization. LA has among the highest incidence rates of gastric cancer, compared to other countries. In this review, different studies on gastric cancer and its relation with risks factors, such as infections, diet and life styles typical of LA, besides the different molecular alterations of that specific population (mainly at a genetic polymorphism level) are analyzed. An exhaustive research was made in PubMed, MEDLINE and Embase of the most relevant studies conducted in the last 27 years (1990-2017) in LA.
