AB  - Gastric  cancer  is  currently  the  fifth  most  common  cause  of  cancer  and  the  third-leading  cause  of  cancer  death  worldwide,  accounting  for  1.3  million  incident  cases  and  819,000  deaths  annually.1  The  incidence  of  gastric  cancer  varies  geographically,  with  incidence  highest  in  East  Asia  and  South  America  and  lowest  in  Western  countries.  While  the  incidence  of  gastric  cancer  is  declining  overall  (possibly  due  to  treatment  of  H.  pylori  infection),  incidence  of  cancers  arising  from  the  gastric  cardia  continues  to  increase  in  developed  countries  (including  the  United  States)  for  unknown  reasons.2  There  are  gender  differences  in  gastric  cancer,  with  incidence  2-  to  3-fold  higher  in  men  compared  to  women.2
