Korea has one of the highest incidences of gastric cancer in the world, and has responded with a national endoscopic screening programme that detects the disease early at scale. The clinical consequence is volume: Korean surgeons operate on stomach cancer more often than almost anyone, and Korea\u2019s five-year survival rates for stomach and colorectal cancer are generally higher than those in the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan<\/span>.<\/p>

<\/p>

Korea has also reduced its overall cancer mortality by 35% over the past twenty years.<\/p>

Because of volume and early detection. Korea has a high national incidence and a population-wide endoscopic screening programme, so Korean surgeons see and operate on gastric cancer at a frequency few countries match. Korea\u2019s reported five-year survival rates for stomach cancer are generally higher than in the US, UK and Japan.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Early-stage lesions are sometimes removed endoscopically rather than by gastrectomy \u2014 a considerably less invasive procedure. Whether that applies to a specific case depends on depth of invasion and other factors on the pathology, which is one reason a specialist review of your endoscopy and biopsy is worthwhile before travelling.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Recurrent disease is one of the situations where a high-volume centre is worth consulting.

It depends on the operation and whether chemotherapy follows.
