Gastric cancer is a malignant disease which has generally a very bad prognosis. The frequency of occurence of this disease in the population is dependent on the age and localisation. Most frequently, this disease has occured in Japan, China, countries of South Africa and Eastern Europe for a long time but men are more likely to suffer from this disease than women witha ratio of 2 : 1.
