This document outlines objectives and information about gastric cancer including epidemiology, risk factors, pathology, clinical features, investigations, staging, treatment, and prognosis. It discusses that distal gastric cancer is more common in low socioeconomic countries while proximal cancer is more common in developed countries. Risk factors include H. pylori infection, smoking, diet, and family history. Staging involves the TNM system and Lauren classification divides gastric cancer into intestinal and diffuse types. Investigations include endoscopy, imaging, and biopsy. Treatment involves surgery such as total or subtotal gastrectomy as well as chemotherapy and radiation. Poor prognosis is associated with hematogenous or peritoneal metastasis, extensive nodal disease, and fixation to surrounding structures.
