depends on staging. Small intramucosal<br />

<strong>cancer</strong>s can be treated endoscopically by<br />

endoscopic mucosal resection [17]. For<br />

invasive <strong>cancer</strong>, standard treatment is<br />

gastrectomy with regional lymph node dissection<br />

[18]. For patients with advanced<br />

stage stomach <strong>cancer</strong>, neo-adjuvant (preoperative)<br />

or adjuvant (post-operative)<br />

chemotherapy is currently being investigated<br />

in research protocols. Drugs most<br />

often employed are 5-fluorouracil, doxorubicin<br />

and cisplatin, and greatest success<br />

has been achieved on the basis of combination<br />

regimens rather than single agent<br />

treatments. Immunochemosurgery using<br />

small beneficial outcome in terms of gain<br />

the exaggerated assumptions of a high<br />

reaction, lymphatic and vascular invasion<br />

all have prognostic value. Patients with<br />

<strong>cancer</strong>s limited to the mucosa and submucosa<br />

have a five-year survival of<br />

approximately 95%. Tumours that invade<br />

the muscularis propria have a 60% to 80%<br />

five-year survival, whereas tumours invading<br />

the subserosa and serosa have a less<br />

than 50% five-year survival on average<br />

[19]. There is recent evidence that the<br />

type of mucin and polymorphism of the<br />

gene encoding mucin may be an important<br />

factor determining susceptibility to<br />

stomach <strong>cancer</strong> [20].<br />
