Abstract:
The radical treatment of gastric cancer is complete resection of the tumor by surgery. For advanced gastric cancer, a multidisciplinary approach has been attempted to improve patient prognosis. Potentially resectable and curable advanced gastric cancer is treated with routine surgery, followed by postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. For highly advanced gastric cancer, extended radical surgery or preoperative adjuvant chemotherapy have been attempted. Laparoscopic gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer has not been widely used because of the difficult surgical technique involved, but enhanced magnification in the surgical field is expected to improve the accuracy of the lymph node dissection procedure. In future, the significance of currently available treatments should be investigated. The key treatment for advanced gastric cancer at present is surgery.

Clinical manifestations of acute gastritis
The patient with acute gastritis may have a rapid onset of symptoms, such as epigastric pain or discomfort, dyspepsia, anorexia, hiccups, or nausea and vomiting, which can last from a few hours to a few days. Erosive or hemorrhagic gastritis may cause bleeding, which may manifest as blood in vomit or as...
