Retrospective Data Collection for a Correlation Study Between Gastric Cancer and Clinical and Laboratory Variables

The corresponding medical records will be analyzed to derive information on the socio-demographic characteristics and risk factors of the included subjects. Each case will be paired with two controls chosen from patients who have performed a gastric biopsy with relative histological examination during an endoscopic examination carried out at the IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria of Bologna.
