Epidemiology and prevention of gastric cancer: A comprehensive review.

Gastric cancer is the third most deadly cancer worldwide. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and specific diets are key risk factors for this illness, which is more frequent in various nations. Nearly half of the world's population, 4.4 billion, had H. pylori in 2015. East has a higher incidence rate than West. GC may spread to the liver, lungs, and bones. The majority of cases are adenocarcinomas (90%). In 2022, stomach cancer caused 968,784 new cases and 660,175 deaths worldwide. GC accounts for 7% of cancer diagnoses and 9% of deaths. The high death rate of gastric cancer highlights the need for preventative methods to improve prognosis. Early identification via biomarker screening, especially in high-risk groups, may improve outcomes and treatments.
