This epidemiological study was carried out to establish the magnitude of the changing incidence of gastric and oesophageal cancer. ⋯ Over a 37-year period the incidence of cancer of the oesophagogastric junction increased threefold, while the incidence of cancers of the other subsites of the stomach decreased. Further studies are needed to investigate the aetiology of these changes.
