All people can develop stomach cancer, but there are some factors that make us more at risk.
Risk factors that increase the probability of developing stomach cancer are:
• Age over 65 years.
• Family history.
• Smoking.
• Alcohol consumption.
• Obesity.
• Helicobacter Pylori infection.
• Gastritis, GERD.
• Excessive consumption of salt, smoked foods and pickles.
• Diet poor in fruits and vegetables.
• People with blood type A.
• Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection.
• Exposure to asbestos, coal and rubber.
What are the symptoms?
In the early stages of the disease, stomach cancer does not show symptoms. But, when the disease is advanced, the most typical signs can be:
• Nausea/vomiting.
• Heartburn/heartburn.
• Loss of appetite.
• Weight loss.
• Fatigue.
• Abdominal bloating.
• Vomiting blood (in advanced stages).
• Black stools.
Stomach cancer treatment depends on the stage of the disease, the general condition and the preferences of the patient. In cases where gastric cancer is limited to the stomach, surgery is the main treatment modality.
Meanwhile, other treatment modalities that may or may not be combined with surgery are:
• Radiotherapy
• Chemotherapy
