Screening and Early Detection of Gastric Cancer / 胃肠病学

ABSTRACT

Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in China. The 5-year survival rate of advanced gastric cancer is less than 30%,while the 10-year survival rate of early gastric cancer can reach 90%. Gastric cancer screening is the primary means of detecting early gastric cancer and reducing its mortality. Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) infection is the most important cause of gastric cancer. Eradication of H. pylori can reduce the incidence of gastric cancer and its mortality. This review summarized recent advances in screening methods,screening subjects,screening procedures, and the combination of gastric cancer screening with H. pylori detection/eradication strategy.
