Cáncer gástrico

Nombres alternativos:

Cáncer del estómago; cáncer estomacal; carcinoma gástrico

Prevención:

En Japón, donde el riesgo de cáncer gástrico es muy alto, los programas de exámenes masivos han tenido éxito en la detección de la enfermedad en las etapas tempranas. El valor de los exámenes en los Estados Unidos y en otros países con tasas más bajas de cáncer gástrico no es claro. El hecho de evitar el consumo de cigarrillo puede reducir el riesgo.
