Activity Description

Gastric cancer is a significant global health concern, ranking as the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths and the fifth most frequently diagnosed cancer. The incidence varies by geography, with higher rates in East Asia and a general decline in other regions over the past 3 decades. Risk factors for gastric cancer include Helicobacter pylori infection, dietary habits, genetic predispositions, and age. The disease often goes undiagnosed until its advanced stages due to the late onset of symptoms, complicating treatment and lowering survival rates. Diagnosis typically involves endoscopy, which enables tissue sampling and resection of early-stage tumors. Treatment includes gastrectomy, lymphadenectomy, chemotherapy, and, in some instances, targeted therapies or immunotherapies.

This course enhances the participant’s ability to recognize gastric cancer’s risk factors, clinical presentations, and appropriate screening methods. Participants learn about the latest diagnostic and treatment strategies, including endoscopy, molecular testing, and emerging therapies. Collaboration with an interprofessional team—including gastroenterologists, oncologists, radiologists, and surgeons—improves patient outcomes by ensuring comprehensive care. This team-based approach facilitates early detection, precise diagnosis, and tailored treatment plans, improving survival rates and quality of life, particularly for patients with advanced or high-risk disease.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Identify the key risk factors for gastric cancer, including Helicobacter pylori infection, dietary influences, and genetic predispositions.

  • Differentiate between the intestinal and diffuse histological types of gastric cancer through clinical, imaging, and histopathological findings.

  • Apply the current treatment guidelines in managing patients with gastric cancer. 

  • Screen high-risk populations, particularly those in areas with elevated gastric cancer incidence, using endoscopy and appropriate screening guidelines.
