Core Tip	Gastric cancer (GC) is the third most common cancer and the second most common cause of cancer death in Asia. Highest incidence rates are observed in Eastern Asia and varies in other parts of Asia. Mortality rates are slowly declining but remain a significant public health problem. The seroprevalence of Helicobacter pylori is very closely related to the incidence of GC in Asia. In contrast to Western world, management of GC is focused on prevention and early detection in Eastern Asia.
