Stomach cancer is also called gastric cancer. In this cancer cells grow out of control in your stomach. Cancer can originate anywhere in your stomach. Most cases of stomach cancer involve abnormal cell growth in the place where your stomach meets your esophagus (gastroesophageal junction). About 94% of the time, stomach cancer starts in your stomach lining and progresses slowly. Untreated, it can form a mass (tumor) and grow more seriously into your stomach walls. The tumor may extend to nearby organs like your liver and pancreas.

Anyone can develop stomach cancer, but certain demographic factors may increase your risk. You’re more likely to get stomach cancer if:

• You’re 65 or over.
• You were assigned male at birth.
• Your ethnic background is East Asian, South or Central American, or Eastern European

Depending on where cancer occurs, it can be of the following types:

• Adenocarcinoma: It forms in the mucosa or the innermost lining of the stomach. It is the most frequent type of stomach cancer and accounts for 90-95% of them.
• Lymphoma: It is an immune system tissue cancer that occurs rarely in the stomach. Its treatment will depend on its type.
• Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST): This is a rare tumor that forms in a special cell called interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC). While it can occur anywhere in the digestive tract, it is more common in the stomach.
• Carcinoid tumor: It occurs in the hormone-making stomach cells. It is rare and does not generally spread to other organs.

Each form of GI cancer has its own set of risk factors. However, in many cases, lifestyle variables may play a role. Obesity, a lack of exercise, smoking, a bad diet, and heavy alcohol consumption are all examples. Patients may also be susceptible to the disease if there is a family history. Other aspects to consider are:

• Hepatitis A or B Infection: Chronic Hepatitis A & B infections can lead to liver cancer formation.
• Helicobacter pylori Infection: Persistent H.pylori infections, if left untreated, may lead to stomach cancer.
• Smoking and Alcohol Consumption: Smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol increases the risk of GI cancers.
• Gastritis: Prolonged history of gastritis is also associated with gastrointestinal cancers.
• Obesity: The risk of developing GI cancers is higher among obese people.
• History of Any GI Cancers or Other Cancers: Those who’ve been treated for GI or any cancers in the past also have a higher risk of developing gastrointestinal cancers.
• History of Polyp Growths in the Colon or Stomach: Those who’ve had polyp growths in the colon and stomach region in the past also show a higher risk for GI cancers.

Dr. Bhushan Chittawadagi performs several tests to confirm the diagnosis and assess the stage of the cancer. These are very important milestones, as the diagnosis and type and stage of cancer determine further treatment and patient survival. Procedures commonly used to diagnose stomach cancer include:

• Physical Examination: A physical examination of the body checks for the signs of disease, such as lumps or anything else that seems abnormal. A medical history of the patient’s health habits, as well as previous diseases and treatments, will be obtained.
• Blood Tests: Blood tests are recommended to screen for abnormalities in the blood that could indicate the presence of GI malignancies.
• Endoscopy: Endoscopic tests help specialists have a look inside the body with the help of an endoscope, which is a flexible tube with a light and a small camera attached.
• Imaging Tests: To look for abnormal tissue anywhere in the digestive system, imaging studies (MRI, X-ray, ultrasound, CT scan, or PET scan) are used.
• Colonoscopy and Sigmoidoscopy: These are the procedures that are used to detect colorectal cancer.
• Upper GI endoscopy: This procedure helps in the detection of cancers that arise from the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum in the upper gastrointestinal system.
• Biopsy: Biopsy is the process of collecting cells or tissues from the area where tumor growth is suspected so that they can be examined under a microscope for signs of cancer. During the endoscopy, a biopsy of the stomach is routinely performed.
