Stomach Cancer – Causes of Stomach Cancer

Executive Summary about Stomach Cancer Symptoms by ab robinson

Stomach cancer is more readily treated when caught early. Unfortunately, by the time stomach cancer causes symptoms, it’s often at an advanced stage and may have spread beyond the stomach.

You can reduce your risk of stomach cancer by making a few changes in your lifestyle. It is hard to diagnose stomach cancer in its early stages. At present, stomach cancer is still the fourth most common cause of death from cancer.

There appear to be two types of gastric (stomach) cancer. Cancer of the stomach, or gastric cancer, is a disease in which stomach cells become malignant (cancerous) and grow out of control, forming a tumor. Almost all stomach cancers (95%) start in the glandular tissue that lines the stomach. Once beyond the stomach, cancer can spread to other organs. The spread of cancer is called metastasis.

Causes of Stomach Cancer

Tobacco and alcohol use. Tobacco use can irritate the stomach lining, which may help explain why smokers have twice the rate of stomach cancer that nonsmokers do. Alcohol has been associated with an increased risk of stomach cancer, but the link between the two isn’t clear.

Type A blood: For unknown reasons, people with type A blood have a higher risk of getting stomach cancer.

Cancer can either be malignant or benign.

A diet high in salt and nitrates and low in vitamins A and C increases the risk for stomach cancer. A diet high in raw fruits and vegetables, citrus fruits, and fiber may lower the risk for stomach cancer.

Stomach polyps may become cancerous (malignant) and are thus removed.

Some experts believe that smoking might increase stomach cancer risk.
