Guts and Glory: Facing Stomach Cancer Head-On
Stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer, is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Despite advances in medical research and treatment, stomach cancer often goes undiagnosed in its early stages due to its subtle symptoms. Early detection plays a crucial role in improving the chances of survival, making regular health check-ups and screenings vital.
What is Stomach Cancer?
Stomach cancer occurs when malignant (cancerous) cells form in the lining of the stomach. Symptoms often don’t appear until the cancer has progressed, which can delay diagnosis and treatment. Common symptoms include:
Persistent indigestion
Nausea, unexplained weight loss
Abdominal pain
However, these symptoms can be mistaken for less serious conditions, making it challenging to detect the disease early.
Risk factors for stomach cancer include age, a family history of cancer, infections with Helicobacter pylori bacteria, smoking, and a diet high in salty or smoked foods.Â
