Core Tip	In some mortality cases, causes of deaths are registered as causes that cannot or should not be considered as the underlying causes of death like cancer without mentioning the type. These cases are not included in the estimations of cause specific mortality rates and leads to under-estimate health risks and burden of disease. The aim of this study is to correct the misclassification of gastric cancer deaths in cancer without label group using a Bayesian method.
