Gastric cancer, also known as stomach cancer, is a type of cancer that affects the stomach. It is a serious and potentially life-threatening disease, but with early detection and treatment, it can be highly treatable.
Risk factors for gastric cancer include increasing age, a history of gastric polyps or inflammation, a family history of the disease, and a diet that is high in smoked, salted, or pickled foods. Individuals with a history of helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and those who smoke or drink alcohol are also at increased risk.
Symptoms of gastric cancer can be vague and non-specific, but common signs can include persistent indigestion or heartburn, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, unexplained weight loss, and difficulty swallowing. If these symptoms are present, it is important to speak with your doctor to determine the cause.
