Excerpt

Despite declining incidence in the United States and many other western countries, gastric cancer continues to be a worldwide health problem, with more than 600,000 cases reported annually, far higher than pancreatic cancer with 125,000 cases. The highest rates occur in Japan, China, Eastern Europe, and South America, with 42% of worldwide cases occurring in China.1
