Abstract
Despite a decreasing incidence during the last few decades, gastric carcinoma (GC) remains the fourth most common cancer worldwide and the second leading cause of cancer-related death.1 The overall mortality has decreased during the same period, although the long-term prognosis remains poor, with 5-year survival rates that rarely exceed 40%.2Keywords
