A global burden of gastric cancer: the major impact of China

Abstract: Gastric cancer (GC) is a highly aggressive cancer and a major cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Approximately half of the world's GC cases and deaths occur in china. GC presents challenges in early diagnosis and effective therapy due to a lack of understanding of the underlying molecular biology. The primary goals of this review are to outline current GC research in china and describe future trends in this field. Areas covered: This review mainly focuses on a series of GC-related advances China has ach… Show more

“…These studies commonly enroll patients with different TNM stages and who have underwent different types of stomach resection, and as such, there are many factors that may affect the authenticity of their results 22 . Another concern is that approximately half of the world's gastric cancer cases occur in China, most of which are in an advanced stage (T2-4aN0-3M0) at the time of initial diagnosis, and China plays a major role in the global burden of gastric cancer 3,23,24 . Radical gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy is the present standard surgical procedure for patients with local AGC in accordance with the Japanese Gastric Cancer Treatment Guidelines 19 .…”

“…Because specific biomarkers for early diagnosis and effective treatments are lacking patients with advanced GC usually have a poor prognosis [1, 2]. However, the mechanisms of GC are still unclear, and our study is devoted to discovering specific biomarkers and novel methods for GC diagnosis and therapy.…”
