Stomach Cancer Cancer of the stomach, also known as gastric cancer, often goes unnoticed until the cancer has reached a late stage.For many individuals, stomach cancer has already metastasized (spread to other body organs) before it is discovered.For these reasons, stomach cancer has a lower survival rate than many other types of cancers.However, during the last decade, the incidence (number of new cases) of stomach cancer has decreased for most population groups, and a person' s chance of dying from stomach cancer has also declined.The May 5, 2010, issue of JAMA contains several articles about stomach cancer.
