To describe the increasing number of gastric cancer cases at Bahrain Defense Force Hospital with implementation of immunohistochemistry markers as prognostic factors. ⋯ The common gastric cancers are signet ring cell adenocarcinoma and intestinal type adenocarcinoma, affecting a wide range of age groups (33-91 years), with those over 60 years at greater risk.
