Special Issue on

Advances in Gastric Cancer Research

Stomach cancer is the fourth most common cancer worldwide with 930,000 cases diagnosed in 2002. Gastric cancer refers to cancer arising from epithelium of the stomach. In the early stages, you may have very few symptoms, while in more advanced cancer you may have blood in the stool, vomiting, weight loss and stomach pain. Surgery remains the only curative therapy for stomach cancer and radiation therapy is an adjuvant to chemotherapy and surgery. As stomach cancer has caused large numbers of people to die, further study for effective therapy seems necessary and significant.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring advances in gastric cancer research. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Signs and symptoms
• Causes of gastric cancer
• Precaution and diagnosis
• Prevention and treatment (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation)
• Diet and life style
• Epidemiology and lethality
• Limitation and problems
• Cases of therapy
  
  

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Advances in Gastric Cancer Research” should be chosen during your submission.
