Abstract
Gastric carcinoma is considered one of the most aggressive malignancies that is related to the late discovery of the disease. Feature of the disease is usually non-specific and can be misleading. Diagnosis is mainly depending on endoscopic biopsy, after that many steps should be done to assess the extent of the disease. Treatment will purely rely on the stage, since early disease is completely different from the metastasis one. The Medline, Pubmed, Embase, NCBI, and Cochrane databases were searched for studies of patients who developed gastric carcinoma symptoms. In regards to the inclusion criteria, the articles were selected based on the inclusion of one of the following topics: gastric carcinoma recent diagnosis and treatment. All other articles that did not have one of these topics as their primary endpoint were the exclusion criteria. The incidence, etiology, and management options were analyzed. Gastric carcinoma is a very wide topic, many aspects still unclear about it, and many needs more works to improve the outcome of the patient.
