About Stomach (Gastric) Cancer
Stomach cancer is a grave problem in much of the world especially Asia, Eastern Europe and parts of Latin America where it's second only to lung cancer as a cause of cancer deaths.

In the United States and Western Europe, the incidence of stomach cancer has declined dramatically over the past 50 years; however, it remains a very deadly disease. While the survival rate is much more favorable when diagnosed early, unfortunately it is often diagnosed at advanced stages, often because its symptoms which include bloating, diarrhea, nausea and fatigue can easily confused with other common conditions. The five-year survival rate for stomach cancer in the United States is approximately 22 percent.
