When it comes to gastric cancer - one of the deadliest cancers globally -education is not just important; it's lifesaving.

Awareness of symptoms like persistent indigestion, bloating, or unexplained weight loss can lead to earlier diagnoses when treatment is far more effective. Yet some studies show that most people don't associate these symptoms with gastric cancer.

Education empowers people to make informed choices. It could help people understand risk factors, such as H. pylori infections or acid reflux, and adopt a healthy lifestyle like a balanced diet and not smoking.

While TOGAS focuses on developing new strategies for screening and preventing gastric cancer, we also understand the importance of knowledge dissemination to empower individuals toward taking proactive measures.

Education is an essential link that will enable individuals to take action even before formal screening programs are in place.
