Minimally Invasive Surgery for Upper Abdominal Cancer

Abstract

Gastric cancer has been amongst the most commonly diagnosed malignancies worldwide since 1975 with the highest incidence in Eastern Asia (13.3%) followed by Central and Eastern Europe (6.7%) [1]. Japan was the first country to start with the implementation of a screening program for gastric cancer in 1983 to facilitate early detection of the disease [2]. Consequently, other countries with a high prevalence of gastric cancer also implemented a screening program, such as Korea and China [3]. This resulted in a high incidence of early gastric cancer. Despite the early detection of this disease, the overall mortality is still amongst the highest in the world [1].
