On Saturday 4th of February 2012, it is World Cancer Day. Therefore, we think it is an excellent moment to inform you about the novelties on the Reliable Cancer Therapies (RCT) website. We are happy to announce that there is a new Guide for Patients available on our website: A Guide for Patients with Stomach Cancer. This Guide has been written by RCT and is based on the ESMO guidelines.

Because stomach cancer is the fourth most common cancer worldwide, with almost 1 million new cases and 740.000 deaths each year we think that reliable information for patients on this cancer type is indispensable. Stomach cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death worldwide (after lung cancer) and more than half of the cases occur in East-Asia (esp. Korea, China and Japan). Stomach cancer is less frequent in Belgium nowadays, and represents less than 5% of all cancers. It occurs mostly in male after the age of 60.

RCT provides this guide for free on her website to inform patients and their relatives as good as possible about stomach cancer and the treatment options. This information is, moreover, written in an understandable and patient-friendly way. You can easily download this Guide for Patients in four languages (EN, NL, FR, ES).
