Cancer is a dangerous disease that develops almost anywhere in the body as a result of unregulated and abnormal cellular growth. According to the American Cancer Society, over 26,000 new cases of cancer develop each year. Gastric cancer, commonly known as stomach cancer, accounts for around 1.5 percent of all cancer cases identified in the United States. Although Stomach cancer is currently on the decline in the U.S. still remains as one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in the world.
