Stomach Cancer
Machine-translated from Korean
5-Year Relative Survival
77.9%
More than double the US figure (about 36%, SEER) — among the highest stomach cancer survival reported worldwide.
Early Detection
Gastroscopy every 2 yrs from 40
National screening provides biennial gastroscopy, so a high share of cancers are found early — often treatable by endoscopic resection alone.
Surgical Approach
Laparoscopic & robotic
Most gastrectomies are done minimally invasively, with faster recovery and lower complication burden.
