1. Introduction
Korea University Anam Hospital Gastric Cancer Center can be the best option for global visitors for education on gastric cancer because it has high number cases per week in the world as well as structured and active research activities, even for but a short duration of a few weeks.
2. Short-term Visiting Fellowship program
This is an integrated practical education course that provides experience with many diverse gastric cancer patients within a few weeks and is intended to offer a structured concept and knowledge of gastric cancer treatment. The visitors are expected to learn the basic principles of gastric cancer treatment, focused on gastric cancer surgery including lymph node dissection, post-operative management and chemotherapy. We hope they would be able to effectively apply their experience with a relatively large number of gastric cancer patients in their own practice in their home institutions.
