Abstract

This paper evaluates the influence of the quality of drinking water on the incidence of malignant stomach cancer. Both the author's own data and the data collected from published papers are used in this evaluation. The conclusion is that the quality of drinking water can have some influence on the frequency of stomach cancer incidence, especially among the population of autochthons (who have been using such water for a long time). However, taking into consideration all papers quoted here, it seems that there are also various other factors which can influence the incidence of stomach cancer.
