杉村教授（美国国家癌症中心名誉主席）为第十七届国际研讨会开幕。自1987年以来，来自世界各地的500多名演讲者被邀请讨论各种癌症，这是第二次讨论胃癌的研讨会，第一次是在1998年。杉村教授陈述了他对今年主题的个人兴趣，并讲述了他自己的胃癌病史，他在筛查中发现并在NCC成功地接受了全胃切除术。A.阿贾尼教授致开幕词。尽管在胃癌的诊断和治疗方面取得了许多成功，但仍有许多未解之谜。在流行病学中，需要确定环境和遗传因素，并可能加以修改以降低癌症发病率。性别之间发病率的差异和癌症发生地点的地理差异需要解释。是否有可能改善对化疗的反应，并针对癌症进行个体化治疗？这些都是重大问题，本次研讨会提供了一个独特的机会来详细讨论这些困境和挑战。第一部分：胃癌的流行病学、遗传学和预防
Professor T. Sugimura [President Emeritus, National Cancer Center (NCC)] opened the Seventeenth International Symposium. Since 1987 over 500 speakers from around the world have been invited to discuss various cancers and this was the second symposium at which gastric cancer was discussed, the first being in 1998. Professor Sugimura stated his personal interest in this year’s topic and recounted the history of his own gastric cancer, detected at screening and successfully treated at the NCC by total gastrectomy. Professor A. Ajani gave the opening address. Although there have been many successes in the diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer there remain many unanswered questions. In epidemiology, environmental and genetic factors need to be identified and perhaps modified to reduce cancer rates. The differing incidences between the sexes and the geographical variation of sites of cancer occurence require explanation. Would it be possible to improve responses to chemotherapy and to target cancers with individualized therapy? These are major issues and this symposium offered a unique opportunity to discuss these dilemmas and challenges in detail. SESSION 1: EPIDEMIOLOGY, GENETICS AND PREVENTION OF GASTRIC CANCER
