This book is a lucid account on gastric cancer keeping both general public and health care workers in mind. Most populations in LMICs lack access to effective gastric cancer prevention and treatment.This book attempts to provide an up-to-date information regarding gastric cancer biology . This book pays homage to the cutting edge concepts of Cancer, biology of cancer, signs symptoms, treatment, stem cells in cancer, and represents the very first volume devoted to the subject of the basic biology of gastric cancer. This book should be of interest to clinicians and researchers interested in gastrointestinal cancer, as well as, in related areas of cancer research. This book is a humble attempt to try and help in fighting Gastric cancer.
