26 Background: Risaralda (Colombia) has an irregular pattern in the risk of death for gastric cancer; for these reasons, the survival analysis was made with the information of gastric cancer patients treated in Oncólogos del Occidente clinic during 2014. Methods: A cross-sectional study was done with oncologic patients in order to evaluate the replicability of a binary list of signs and symptoms of gastric cancer, also its corresponding principal component factors for the proper identification of their dimensions. A sum of the set of signs and symptoms was done. This total sum of signs and symptoms was used to identify the sensitivity and specificity of each of cut-off related to the patient’s death condition. This evaluation was established by the ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) methodology, which is a graphic representation of the sensitivity in front of the specificity for a classifying binary system that may vary the threshold of rejection. The analysis was done in Stata. Results: There were 173 patients, of whom 69.9% were males; the group with the highest incidence was the 60-69 years old group (32%); These patients referred 5 signs and symptoms that conformed the list from which every single item behaved as a binary variable. Cronbach’s alpha was 0.62 and the analysis of principal components factors defined only one dimension. The ROC curve established a sensitivity of 65% and a specificity of 72% for the determination of the risk of death with a score equal or higher to 4 in the sum of the list of signs and symptoms. Adding the gender, the sensitivity increased to 66%. In the ≥ 80 years old group the sensitivity was 70.9%, meanwhile the group of ≥ 40 years old the sensitivity was 93%. Conclusions: The list of signs and symptoms could be a diagnostic technology relevant for unspecific clinical but has an important high frequency in Colombia for gastric cancer patients. The sensitivity was very variable according to the age range, being more sensible and specific for the patients of the ≥ 40 years old group.
