We recognize our participants as active stakeholders in our work who we rely on to drive research forward. With your help, we believe there is an opportunity to improve prevention, early detection and treatment of gastric cancer. Your participation in the Gastric Cancer Registry, the first comprehensive registry on stomach cancer in the nation, will aid researchers in gaining a better understanding of the causes of gastric cancer, both environmental and genetic, and determine whether certain genomic data can predict outcomes of treatment and survival.
