Surgical Staging of Gastric Cancer
نویسنده
چکیده
Gastric cancer is the fifth most common cancer and third leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, with half of these occurring in Eastern Asia [1]. There are two major classification systems currently used, the Japanese classification and the system developed jointly by the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) and the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC). The Japanese classification system has been criticized for being to elaborate and difficult to use. The AJCC/UICC system is the system used mainly throughout the West, and is used by the NCCN guidelines; and will be the system used in this section.
