Stomach cancer statistics
To provide the most current cancer statistics, statistical methods are used to estimate the number of new cancer cases and deaths until actual data become available.
Incidence and mortality
Incidence is the total number of new cases of cancer. Mortality is the number of deaths due to cancer.
Cancer statistics are currently collected, analyzed and reported based on the sex assigned at birth, with male/men and female/women categories. We need to address gaps in how statistics are collected to better understand cancer in transgender, non-binary and gender-diverse people.
It is estimated that in 2024:
- 4,000 Canadians will be diagnosed with stomach cancer.
- 2,000 Canadians will die from stomach cancer.
- 2,600 men will be diagnosed with stomach cancer and 1,250 will die from it.
- 1,400 women will be diagnosed with stomach cancer and 760 will die from it.
