Gastric cancer accounts for 10% of newly diagnosed cancers in the world.

A historical study by Haenszel et al showed that the Issei Japanese in the US maintained the high risk similar to that of Japan, and the Nissei had a risk closer to that of Americans (JNCI 1968; 40: 43-68).

The descriptive features strongly indicate that environmental factors play a pivotal role in human gastric carcinogenesis. Thus dietary factors have drawn considerable attention.
