Abstract
Delay in diagnosis can be reduced by higher availability of general practitioners and gastroenterologists in rural areas. Given the already very high density of physicians in urban areas there is no effect of additional gastroenterologists. As learning effects can be observed with increased hospital volumes, minimum volumes for treatment of gastric cancer may be defined.
