class=\"kt-accordion-panel-inner\">\n<p><strong>Stomach<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stomach is a hollow muscular sac like organ that plays a major role in the digestion of food. It is located in the left upper part of the abdomen just below the ribs. Stomach receives and holds the food and starts to digest it by secreting gastric juice. The food and gastric juice are mixed and then emptied into the first part of the small intestine called the duodenum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also know more about : <a href=\"https:\/\/zuviuslifesciences.in\/old\/skin-cancer\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Skin Cancer (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Skin Cancer<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stomach Cancer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stomach cancer, also called gastric cancer, is a disease in which malignant cells form in the lining of the stomach. Stomach cancer generally develops slowly and do not show any prominent sign or symptom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Types of Stomach Cancer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Adenocarcinomas:<\/strong>&nbsp;These Cancers develop from the cells that form the innermost lining of the stomach (known as the mucosa). They account for 90 \u2013 95 % of Stomach Cancers.<\/li><li><strong>Lymphoma:<\/strong>&nbsp;These are Cancers of the immune system tissue that are sometimes found in the wall of the Stomach. They account for 4% of Stomach Cancer occurrences.<\/li><li><strong>Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) :<\/strong>&nbsp;These are rare tumors that start in very early forms of cells in the wall of the stomach called interstitial cells of Cajal.<\/li><li><strong>Carcinoid tumor:<\/strong>&nbsp;These are tumors that start in hormone-making cells of the Stomach. Most of these tumors do not spread to other organs. About 3% of Stomach Cancers are carcinoid tumors.<\/li><li><strong>Other Cancers:<\/strong>&nbsp;Cancer such as squamous cell carcinoma, small cell carcinoma, and leiomyosarcoma, can also start in the stomach, but these Cancers are very rare.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stomach Cancer Occurrence Rate in India<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A recent study conducted by Tata Memorial Centre (TMC) on cancer mortality in India has revealed that Stomach Cancer is the second biggest killer in India. An approximation of 22,200 men and 27,500 women die of Gastric Cancer every year in India. Experts revealed that this high rate of Stomach Cancer is contributed by unhealthy diet and lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In many places in India the diet is low in fibre content. Spicy food and lots of non-vegetarian food can cause the chronic inflammation of the stomach lining, which if left untreated can turn cancerous.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-pane kt-accordion-pane kt-accordion-pane-21 kt-pane_1c9b4a-cb\"><h3 class=\"kt-accordion-header-wrap\"><button class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-header kt-acccordion-button-label-show\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title-wrap\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title\">Anatomy Of Stomach (Gastric)<\/span><\/span><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-icon-trigger\"><\/span><\/button><\/h3><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel-inner\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"408\" height=\"232\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/zuviuslifesciences.in\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image-8.jpg?resize=408%2C232&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/zuviuslifesciences.in\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image-8.jpg?w=408&amp;ssl=1 408w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/zuviuslifesciences.in\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image-8.jpg?resize=300%2C171&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 408px) 100vw, 408px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-pane kt-accordion-pane kt-accordion-pane-16 kt-pane_691f14-2a\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-header-wrap\"><button class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-header kt-acccordion-button-label-show\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title-wrap\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title\">What Are The General Symptoms Of Stomach (Gastric) Cancer?<\/span><\/span><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-icon-trigger\"><\/span><\/button><\/div><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel-inner\">\n<p>Most Stomach (Gastric) &nbsp;cancers do not cause any symptoms until they have spread too far to be cured, but sometimes, we do get symptoms at an early stage.<br><strong>Early stages:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Indigestion and stomach discomfort.<\/li><li>A bloated feeling after eating.<\/li><li>Mild nausea.<\/li><li>Loss of appetite.<\/li><li>Heartburn.<\/li><li>Fatigue<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Advanced stages:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Blood in the stool that might or might not be visible to naked eyes.<\/li><li>Vomiting.<\/li><li>Weight loss for no known reason.<\/li><li>Stomach pain.<\/li><li>Jaundice<\/li><li>Ascites (build-up of fluid in the abdomen).<\/li><li>Trouble swallowing.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These symptoms are more likely to be caused by conditions other than Stomach (Gastric) &nbsp;cancer.

However, there is a strong correlation between a diet high in smoked and salted foods and Stomach Cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout these years of analysis and diagnosis of the disease certain risk factors have been identified that highly increases the probability of the occurrence of the disease. Some of them are discussed below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Gender:<\/strong>&nbsp;Stomach Cancer is more common in men than in women.<\/li><li><strong>Age<\/strong>: The risk of Stomach Cancer increases with increasing age. Most people diagnosed with Stomach Cancer are between their late 60s and 80s.<\/li><li><strong>Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection:&nbsp;<\/strong>It is a major cause of Stomach Cancer, especially cancers in the lower (distal) part of the stomach. Every one in three Stomach Cancer cases can be attributed to H pylori infection.<\/li><li><strong>Stomach lymphoma:<\/strong>&nbsp;People who have had a certain type of lymphoma of the stomach known as mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma have an increased risk of getting adenocarcinoma of the stomach.<\/li><li><strong>Diet:<\/strong>&nbsp;An increased risk of Stomach Cancer is seen in people with diets that have large amounts of smoked foods, salted fish and meat, and pickled vegetables. On the other hand, eating lots of fresh fruits and vegetables appears to lower the risk of Stomach Cancer.<\/li><li><strong>Tobacco use:<\/strong>&nbsp;Tobacco usage is the major cancer causative. The rate of Stomach Cancer is almost doubled in smokers.<\/li><li><strong>Previous stomach surgery:<\/strong>&nbsp;Stomach Cancers are more likely to develop in people who have had part of their stomach removed to treat non-cancerous diseases such as ulcers.<\/li><li><strong>Hypertrophic Gastropathy:<\/strong>&nbsp;Excess growth of the stomach lining causes large folds in the lining and leads to low levels of stomach acid. This is a rare condition that accounts to Stomach Cancer.<\/li><li><strong>Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP):<\/strong>&nbsp;People with this syndrome are at greatly increased risk of getting colorectal cancer and have a slightly increased risk of getting Stomach Cancer.<\/li><li><strong>Pernicious anemia:<\/strong>&nbsp;Certain cells in the stomach lining normally make a substance called intrinsic factor (IF) that we need to absorb vitamin B12 from foods. People without enough IF may end up with a vitamin B12 deficiency, which affects the body\u2019s ability to make new red blood cells and can cause other problems as well. This condition is called pernicious anemia. Along with anemia (too few red blood cells), people with this disease have an increased risk of Stomach Cancer.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any of the above symptoms, please get yourself checked.
