This paper presents a comprehensive statistical report on the incidence, mortality, survival, and treatment of major digestive organ cancers, including those of the esophagus, stomach, colon, rectum, liver, extrahepatic biliary tract, and pancreas, in Japan. We compiled data from the National Cancer Center's “Cancer Information Services” and government “e-Stat” websites and offered a succinct overview of basic statistics by using tables and graphical presentations. Our findings underscore the critical role of the National Cancer Registry introduced by the Cancer Registry Act of 2016, which mandates hospitals across Japan to report cancer cases. This system ensures more accurate incidence statistics. Mortality data sourced from the National Vital Statistics System and survival rates derived from hospital-based cancer registries offer insights into the outcomes and efficacy of treatment modalities. These data indicate a downward trend in mortality for stomach and liver cancers and stable or declining rates for other cancers except pancreatic cancer, which has the lowest survival rate. Treatment patterns indicate an increase in endoscopic procedures for esophageal and stomach cancers, with stable treatment approaches for colorectal cancer.

Postoperative complications are frequent, and effective diagnosis and treatment of complications is crucial to lower the mortality rates. The postoperative complications prolong hospital stay and may result in poor QoL, thus eliminating the completion of perioperative adjuvant therapy.

Measuring outcome enables surgeons to: monitor their own results; compare quality of treatment between centres; facilitate improvement both for surgery alone and combined treatment; select optimal procedure for an individual patient. Textbook oncological outcome is a composite quality measure representing the ideal hospitalization for gastrectomy, as well as stage-appropriate (perioperative) adjuvant chemotherapy.
