Endoscopy in gastric malignancy

  • Chapter
Management of Gastric Cancer

Part of the book series: Cancer Treatment and Research ((CTAR,volume 55))

Abstract

Gastric malignancy continues to present a significant public health problem, despite a well-documented decline in incidence over the past 50 years. In the United States there are more than 20,000 new cases documented annually, with an associated death rate of approximately 6 per 100,000 [1,2]. In higher-incidence countries such as Japan, the death rate from gastric cancer exceeds that of the United States by almost 10-fold [3,4]. Cure rates for this disease remain essentially unchanged over the same time period, despite numerous advances in diagnostic and therapeutic capability [5–7].
