| Article Title: | Gastric cancer: Worldwide burden and prevention opportunities |
| Abstract: | Gastric cancer is a major worldwide problem in developing and developed countries. It contributes substantially to the economic medical resource burden and population mortality in many countries. The absolute numbers of new cases of death are expected to increase significantly over the next decades because of the enlarging and aging of the world population. The putative factors are better understood today, and control of these factors, together with screening can help prevent this cancer from becoming an increasing burden to society. |
