Abstract
Our study was a five year analysis of gastric cancers performed in the Department of Pathology, Government
Medical College, Srinagar. This included an analysis of 152 cases of gastric cancers which accounted for
21.9% of gastrointestinal cancers. Pylorus was the commonest site involved, followed by the body and
then cardia-fundus. Grossly the commonest type was an infiltrative lesion. Microscopically according to
Lauren’s classification, intestinal type was the commonest (28%), followed by diffuse (27.3%) and mixed
(8%). Chronic follicular gastritis, intestinal metaplasia and lymphoid hyperplasia were common findings in
the intestinal type of adenocarcinoma.
