Morphofunctional and molecular-biological characters of gastric cancer

Resume: Despite the high incidence rate, nowhere in the world, except Japan, is it really practiced to screen the population for the detection of gastric cancer. First of all, the lack of simple and cheap methods of examination, as well as specific markers of gastric cancer, should be attributed to the main difficulties that hinder the introduction of mass preventive measures into everyday clinical practice. Accordingly, if in Japan early gastric cancer (GR) is detected in 30-60% of primary patients, then in Western Europe no more than 14-17% of cases [4. In the world, this indicator, unfortunately, is even lower, in most medical and preventive institutions, the diagnosis of stomach cancer is established already at HHG-GU stages of the disease (more than 70% of patients).
