Surgery for Gastric Cancer

Abstract

We have many dramatic and exciting stories in the history of surgery [1–4]. I would like to recommend my colleagues to read such interesting books, for example, Das Jahrhundert der Chirurgen (The Century of the Surgeon (English edition)) [5] and Das Weltreich der Chirurgen (The Triumph of Surgery (English edition)) [6] written by Jurgen Thorwald.
