Japan has the second highest rate of stomach cancer in the world, most cases are detected in the early stages, accounting for more than 60%. At this stage, the 5-year survival rate is 96% because the simpler the treatment, the higher the possibilities to recover. The 5-year survival rate of early-stage colon cancer in Japan is also up to 99.1% (according to Globocan 2020), higher than the US, Singapore and other developed countries. This shows that if you annually check your health, stomach cancer is way less scary and can be completely cured.
