In 2010, the Japanese Gastric Cancer Association (JGCA) published new versions of both the Japanese Classification of Gastric Carcinoma (JC) and the Japanese Gastric Cancer Treatment Guidelines (JGL). This was the first integrated revision of the two systems, implementing major structural changes in each. The primary aim of the revision is to provide clinicians and researchers worldwide with a comprehensive and updated guide to the diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer. English editions of the two systems are now available in this journal [1, 2].
