Most people won't care for gastric pain. Well, maybe they will after they know this:
Gastric pain is one of the symptoms of Gastric cancer.
Gastric cancer is also known as a 'silent' disease as diagnosis is usually made too late. I'm guessing part of the reason is because, like I said, most people don't think Gastric pain is a major issue.
The thing is, how do we tell if it is or not?
That's why the Singapore Cancer Society has arranged for a series of Gastric Cancer Public Forums, to help the public stay educated about this disease.
Fortunately for you, I've got all the info right here (and in both english and mandarin too):

Gastric Cancer Awareness Month 2008
胃癌保健意识月2008
Public Forum 公众讲座
Gastric pain is such a common symptom that many of us would choose to ignore that dull ache, burning sensation or a sharp stabbing pain in the stomach. But should this pain be ignored? How do we know if these symptoms are not linked to Gastric Cancer?
Gastric cancer may be difficult to detect and it is one of the leading causes of death in Singapore, ranking as the 5th and 7th most common cancer among men and women respectively.
What causes gastric cancer? What are the symptoms and risks? How would you know if you have gastric cancer?
Come find out more about this silent killer at these public forums:
我们通常会忽略胃里所感到的酸疼与刺痛。我们是否该对胃痛置之不理？我们又怎么知道这些征兆会与胃癌有任何关联？
胃癌既有可能很难被诊断。在新加坡，胃癌是男性排名第五，女性排名第七的主要癌症。
胃癌是怎么造成的？它又有什么征兆和危险性？您又怎么知道您患了胃癌？
