Gastric Cancer in Southern Europe: High-Risk Disease.
Gastric cancer is an aggressive disease. Several risk factors are involved in gastric cancer pathogenesis, likely Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, genetic factors in hereditary syndromes, lifestyle, and diet. However, well-implemented screening strategies are lacking in most countries, including those in Southern Europe. Nevertheless, gastric cancer outcomes are better in some Southern European countries than in others, likely because of the incidence and distribution of different histologic types. Robotic surgery has been gaining favor as a treatment of early-stage disease, and the need for perioperative chemotherapy or adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for locally advanced disease has been debated. In the metastatic setting, trastuzumab in combination with chemotherapy has helped to extend survival compared with chemotherapy alone for HER2-positive disease. This article will describe how gastric cancer is assessed and treated in Southern Europe in an attempt to correlate these approaches from a global perspective.
