Abstract

Gastric cancer remains one of the most prevalent cancers and is responsible for an estimated 989,600 new cases (8?% of total cancer cases) and 738,000 deaths (10?% of total cancer deaths) a year worldwide, which contrasts with the declining incidence and cancer-related deaths from gastric cancer in the USA. Because optimal treatment differs with each gastric cancer stage, a comprehensive strategy for cancer staging is important with EUS playing a valuable role.
