Stomach Cancer
Stomach cancer develops when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the stomach lining.
Early stages may be asymptomatic, making detection challenging. Common symptoms include indigestion, stomach pain, nausea, loss of appetite, and unexplained weight loss. Advanced stages may involve bleeding, obstruction, or metastasis. Treatment requires a multidisciplinary approach involving surgery, chemotherapy, and sometimes radiotherapy.
Causes and Risk Factors of Stomach Cancer
Various factors contribute to gastric cancer development.
- Helicobacter pylori infection: Chronic infection increases risk of gastric inflammation and cancer
- Dietary factors: high salt intake, smoked foods, and low fruits/vegetables
- Genetic predisposition: Family history of gastric cancer elevates risk
Symptoms and Clinical Presentation
Symptoms vary and often appear late.
- Persistent stomach pain or discomfort
- Nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite
- Unexplained weight loss: May signal advanced disease
- Blood in stool or vomit in some cases
Treatment Options for Stomach Cancer
