Features: Gastric cancer is one of the highly prevalent malignant tumors in China. Although its incidence has slightly declined recently, the primary site has gradually shifted from the antrum to the cardia and fundus of the stomach, with more aggressive biological behavior. Overall treatment efficacy has not significantly improved. According to statistics from the Shanghai Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of newly diagnosed gastric cancer cases in Shanghai still exceeds 6,000 annually, ranking among the highest among malignant tumors. In the basic and clinical research fields aimed at clarifying the mechanisms of gastric cancer occurrence and development, improving early diagnosis rates, promoting standardized comprehensive treatment, and developing new drugs and technologies to genuinely enhance the efficacy of gastric cancer treatment, there is still room for further improvement and potential. This book comprehensively introduces the trends in gastric cancer treatment to colleagues and fully showcases the research progress of scholars both domestically and internationally in the basic and clinical research fields of gastric cancer. From fundamental theories of gastric cancer to practical work guidelines, and from new directions in clinical research and development to new achievements in basic scientific research, it provides a series of introductions. The book is rich in content and highly readable, making it an ideal reference for middle-aged and young medical personnel engaged in clinical and basic research on gastric cancer, as well as graduate students.
