Understanding Stomach Cancer:
Stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer, originates in the lining of the stomach. It typically develops over many years and may initially exhibit few symptoms. As the cancer progresses, it can spread to nearby organs and tissues, making early detection crucial for successful treatment.
The risk factors for stomach cancer include age, gender (more common in men), family history, certain infections (such as H. pylori), diet (high in smoked, salted, or pickled foods), smoking, and obesity.
Symptoms:
Stomach cancer may present with various symptoms, including:
– Persistent abdominal pain or discomfort
– Unintentional weight loss
– Loss of appetite
– Difficulty swallowing
– Nausea and vomiting
– Feeling full after eating small amounts of food
– Blood in the stool or vomiting blood
