title: Malignant tumors of the stomach.
abstract: A variety of malignancies may arise from the stomach, but the vast majority are adenocarcinomas. Despite a steady decline in the incidence of gastric carcinomas in the United States over the last 50 years, the overall prognosis remains dismal. Early diagnosis and an aggressive surgical approach provide the best hope of improving the outlook for patients with gastric cancer.
