Abstract:
Although the incidence and mortality rates of gastric cancer not located in the cardia have been decreasing in the last decades, it still remains the second most common cancer in the world. On the other hand, adenocarcinoma of the cardia and gastroesophageal junction has been rapidly rising in many populations over the past two decades.
