Abstract

Gastric carcinoma is a malignant disease, which starts in the stomach. Despite declining incidence still remains the second cause of death of all malignancies worldwide. It is a major health problem for two reasons: In Asia, East Europe and developing countries the incidence decreases slowly. In USA and West Europe although incidence decreases sharply, mortality of diagnosed gastric cancer remains high.
Adenocarcinoma of the stomach still remains a major health problem. There has been an decrease in incidence of this cancer worldwide but the degree of this reduction varies considerably among different geographical areas.
