- Abstract
The two major staging systems for gastric cancer, the Japanese classification of gastric cancer (JCGC) and the International Union Against Cancer (UICC) TNM system, are periodically revised as a consequence of critical validation studies in light of newly accumulated clinical data. This study aimed to validate and improve upon the current versions for a better prognostic stratification of gastric cancer.
