Core Tip	This ten year retrospective analysis of pathologic factors affecting the survival of gastric cancer patients is the first ever to be done in a Caribbean population. Significant findings meriting publication include increasing incidence of proximal tumours and decreased survival with involvement of the circumferential resection margin. Among other factors also examined, are the impact of surgeon and pathologist training on patient survival. By describing the current state of gastric cancer management in this population, this study aspires to lay the foundation for further work enhancing gastric cancer care in this region.
