Background and aims: Disparities in gastric cancer incidence and mortality have been reported among ethnic/racial groups. While gastric cancer is not common in the U.S., it is among the top 10 causes of cancer‐related death among Hispanics living in Puerto Rico (PRH). This study compared gastric cancer incidence rates during a 15‐year period (2002–2006, 2007–2011, and 2012–2016) between PRH and racial/ethnic groups in the mainland U.S., including Non‐Hispanic Whites (NHW), Non‐Hispanics Blacks (NHB), Hispanics (USH), and Non‐Hispanic Asian or Pacific Islanders (NHAPI).
