Abstract

Gastric cancer still represents an important clinical challenge, since in the majority of patients the disease is diagnosed at an advanced stage when the chance for cure is very low. Therefore early detection and prevention todate, no valid screening strategy has been established, but serological tests and the evaluation of the patient's history allow the identification of individuals at high risk. The main potential for prevention of the disease lies in eradication of infection with Helicobacter pylori. The goal should be the development of a "screen-and-treat" strategy.
