Stomach Cancer
What Is Stomach Cancer
Stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer, develops in the cells lining the stomach. It’s a relatively uncommon cancer, but it can be aggressive and challenging to detect in its early stages because symptoms often appear late.
Risk Factors:
- H. pylori Infection: A bacterial infection in the stomach linked to an increased risk.
- Dietary Factors: Consuming smoked, pickled, or salty foods might heighten the risk.
- Smoking: Tobacco use can contribute to the development of stomach cancer.
- Family History: Having a family member diagnosed with stomach cancer increases the risk.
