Progress in techniques of diagnosing gastric cancer has made it possible to detect small lesions. Because of this advance, mass screenings for gastric cancer have been encouraged. Early gastric cancers have reached more than 30% of all gastric cancers at many hospitals in Japan. However, more than 50% of patients with gastric cancer have advanced cases. To detect early gastric cancer and to treat advanced cancer are both important clinically. This paper reviews studies of special interest in these areas.
胃癌诊断技术的进步使得检测小病变成为可能。由于这一进展，胃癌的大规模筛查得到了鼓励。在日本的许多医院，早期胃癌已占所有胃癌的30%以上。然而，超过50%的胃癌患者为进展期病例。检测早期胃癌和治疗进展期癌症在临床上都很重要。本文综述了这些领域中特别受关注的研究。
