What is Gastric neoplasms about?

## Gastric adenocarcinoma Gastric cancer is the fourth most common cancer and the second most common cause of cancerrelated deaths worldwide. It is a tumour that in the western world is often diagnosed late, with almost 50% of patients having locally advanced or metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis. High-incidence areas occur in eastern Asia, particularly Korea and Japan, as well as central and eastern Europe. It is more common in men. Over the last 40 years the worldwide incidence of gastric cancer has been decreasing with an associated fall in the mortality. The majority of the fall has been associated with tumours within the middle and distal stomach as well as tumours involving the entire stomach. The incidence of proximal gastric cancer has remained unchanged, making up approximately 30% of all gastric cancers. Gastric cancers can be classified anatomically into gastro-oesophageal junction tumours and true gastric cancers. Symptoms include dyspepsia, upper abdominal pain, anorexia and in more advanced stages weight loss, vomiting and anaemia.
