Understanding Gastric Cancer
What is Gastric Cancer?
Gastric cancer, also known as stomach cancer, originates in the cells lining the stomach. It begins when malignant cells grow uncontrollably, forming a tumor within the stomach lining.
Risk Factors and Prevention
Several factors increase the risk of developing gastric cancer, including Helicobacter pylori infection, a history of stomach conditions, smoking, family history, and dietary habits. However, certain preventive measures, such as a balanced diet, limiting smoked and pickled foods, and treating H. pylori infection early, can help reduce the risk.
Diagnosis and Treatment Approaches
Diagnosing gastric cancer involves various tests like endoscopy, imaging scans, biopsy, and blood tests. These examinations aid in determining the stage and extent of cancer, guiding the treatment plan.
Treatment Options
Treatment for gastric cancer typically involves a multidisciplinary approach, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapy. The choice of treatment depends on the cancer stage, location, and overall health of the patient. Surgery to remove the tumor and surrounding tissue remains a primary treatment method, often combined with other therapies for a comprehensive approach.
