Core Tip	There is a paucity of published data regarding gastric cancer in Africa and a need for more research to elucidate etiology and management. There is a growing opportunity for partnerships between African nations and more developed nations to advance the understanding and management of gastric cancer and thus improve overall patient outcomes. Such partnerships would provide a bilateral learning opportunity and help set a platform for training opportunity amongst healthcare providers.
