[Prevention of stomach cancer].
In Japan the mortality rate from stomach cancer is higher than in any other countries of the world. But this rate has recently been decreasing in almost all countries including Japan. We can accelerate the speed of this decreasing tendency by promoting systematically such preventive measures like avoidance of salty foods intake, high consumption of vegetables and fruits, smoking cessation and stomach cancer screening programs.
