Gastric Cancer – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Gastric cancer ranks the fourth most prevalent malignancy among men and the seventh among women. In the context of this disease, fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) play a critical role by binding to FGFR, subsequently leading to phosphorylation at intracellular tyrosine residues. This, in turn, triggers downstream signaling activation. In roughly 30% of gastric carcinomas, there is an observable overexpression of the FGFR2 protein. This overexpression correlates positively with scirrhous cancer, a diffuse type of cancer, invasion depth, infiltration type, and a less favorable prognosis. Approximately 5-10% of gastric cancer patients exhibit amplification of FGFR2. Several factors are associated with an elevated risk of developing gastric cancer. These factors encompass dietary elements such as high-salt intake from salt-preserved foods, consumption of N-nitroso compounds from dietary sources, smoking, inadequate intake of vitamins A and C, excessive consumption of smoked or cured fo...
