Just as Prof. Kim said：

“This book is composed of nice sections and authors from 15 countries. Each country has different situation in gastric cancer，so we can learn what's going on in this field around the world. And also we have a special section for surgical video， from which we can learn how to treat gastric cancer. I strongly recommend having this book for more studying and learning.”

The editors also hope Gastric Cancer on which has expended international gastrointestinal scholars' energies will enlighten the surgeons in this field， make the basic research in gastrointestinal practically applied to clinic and let the patients really beneft from the basic research.
