This study aimed to define the main environmental risk factors present in patients hospitalized at a referral hospital in oncology in Belém/PA, relating them to Regional Amazonian peculiarities and to H. pylori infection. This was a cross-sectional quantitative study, and 32 patients were selected over a 2-month period. A risk factor for gastric adenocarcinoma was observed: older than 50 years (46.87% 51 to 60 years old and 31.37% 61 to 70 years old, p = 0,0064), low educational level and wage income (p = 0,0016 and < 0,0001), salt consumption in processed foods, especially salted dried meat, salted fish, and barbecue (p = 0,0004, 0,0003 and 0,0064) and daily consumption of foods of regional habits such as cassava flour (p < 0,0001). H. pylori infection, alcohol consumption and smoking were not reported as a major risk factor.
