Abstract
Gastric adenocarcinoma (GC) is one of the most heterogeneous cancers, posing challenges to wide applications of the discoveries when compared to other cancers. Nevertheless, the benefits of research in the fight against GC are extraordinary, and even taking in mind the immense complexity of this disease, optimism is a great message to take home. Recent advances in GC research will pave the way for GC effective control, helping to save lives, together with permitting sustainable real-life support for those needing complex and high-expense interventions.
