Alternative Names:

Cancer - stomach; Stomach cancer; Gastric carcinoma

In Japan, where the risk of gastric cancer is very high, mass screening programs have been successful in detecting disease in the early stages. The value of screening in the US and other countries with lower rates of gastric cancer is not clear. Avoiding smoking may reduce risk.
