Stomach
Cancer Surgery (Gastrectomies) at Individual Hospitals in California 1998.
The State
of California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development
has calculated the volume
of stomach cancer surgery done by individual hospitals in California in
1998. We have
included the Office's stomach cancer hospital information on this site.
The data shows the following:
25%
of the cases were performed at a hospital which did 2 or fewer inpatient cases in
1998.
50%
of the cases were performed at a hospital which did 4 or fewer inpatient
cases in 1998.
75%
of the cases were performed at a hospital which did 8 or fewer
inpatient cases in 1998.
The
maximum number of cases done at an individual hospital in 1998 was 34.
This information is being provided as a matter of general interest. We have not
independently verified this information and make no representations about it. The
information is based on 1998 hospital inpatient data and may not be indicative of a
hospital's current volume of stomach cancer surgery.
You can examine the stomach cancer information sorted by hospital, by region or by
