Gender Eligibility DetailsIn accordance with both ministerial and European guidelines on the assessment of the gender dimension in biomedical research, and given the differential incidence between both sexes in relation to gastric cancer, we will carry out differential analyzes by sex in all work packages. They will especially be carried out in biomarkers and risk factors studies, in order to understand the influence of sex in the early diagnosis of gastric cancer. We estimate that the collection of cases of gastric cancer will be double in males, although in the EDGAR 1 cohort that will study the prevalence of premalignant gastric lesions, we will try to obtain balanced data for both sexes.

Nevertheless, the study will be open to international participation.
