The Lauren Classification of Gastric Cancer

    • This is a classification of gastric cancer proposed in 1965 by Lauren that divides gastric cancer into either intestinal or diffuse forms
    • The Lauren classification is a useful classification for epidemiological studies
    • It only roughly stratifies gastric carcinoma into three histopathologic types and has little prognostic relevance
