Stomach cancer, or stomach cancer, is cancer that originates from the lining of the stomach. It spreads from the stomach to other parts of the body, especially the liver, lungs, bones, stomach lining, and lymph nodes.
Five-year survival rates are 28% in the United States and more than 65% in South Korea, thanks in part to screening efforts.
Gastric cancer is the 5th most common cancer, accounting for 7% of all cases and 9% of all deaths, and is the 3rd leading cause of cancer death.
In 2012, 950,000 people were diagnosed and 723,000 died.
The reason is believed to be that the development of refrigerators to keep food fresh meant that people ate less salty and pickled foods.
Stomach cancer is most common in East Asian and Eastern European countries and is twice as common in men as in women.
