Abstract

Stomach cancer is a health concern in Kigali city and the scarcity of accurate information on its stages at diagnosis and survival is a major hindrance to improving patients’ clinical outcomes. This research aimed to determine the relationships between stage at diagnosis and vital statuses, and between stage at diagnosis and survival in first year, second year, and third year post- diagnosis in gastric cancer patients in Kigali city. The secondary data about stage at diagnosis, vital statuses and other patients’ demographic information were obtained from Rwanda National Cancer Registry. Chi-square test was employed to assess the relationship between stages at diagnosis and patients’ vital statuses and Kaplan Meier method was used to calculate the survival. The results showed that 68.80 % of the patients were diagnosed with advanced stages and 31.20% were diagnosed at early stages. The results revealed that 135 subjects were alive and 115 patients died. The relationships between stages at diagnosis and vital statuses are significant at one year (p=0.035), three years (p=0.026) and five years (p=0.025) after diagnosis. The survival rate of stomach cancer at 1, 3 and 5-years post diagnosis among patients diagnosed in Kigali city between 2014 and 2018 were 77%, 51 % and 15%, respectively. The stages at diagnosis have significantly contributed to the survival rate of stomach cancer at 1year post-diagnosis(p=0.038), 3 years after diagnosis(p=0.011) and 5 years’ post- diagnosis (p=0.042). It is factual to conclude that stages at diagnosis contribute to the stomach patients’ vital statuses and their survival.
