Stomach Cancer
Introduction
Stomach cancer, also called gastric cancer, is an illness in which malignant cells develop
uncontrolled stomach tissues. These cells are abnormal because they are self-contained and
therefore resistant to growth-controlling signals due to genetic defects. Gastric cancer was
formerly the second most prevalent cancer, but its incidence has declined significantly in
developed countries, especially in the second half of the twentieth century; it is currently the
fifteenth most common malignancy in the United States. However, this cannot be said for
developing countries, where it remains a significant issue (Luo et al., 2017). Despite this, the
disease continues to be the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths due to its difficulties in
treating and the fact that most patients have advanced disease.
The increasing use of refrigeration has increased the consumption of fresh fruits and
vegetables, decreased food contamination by carcinogenic chemicals due to the decay process,
and a drop in salt use since salt is no longer needed to preserve goods. The reduction in stomach
cancer in developed countries is thought to be related to improved diagnosis and treatment of
Helicobacter pylori.
Types of Stomach Cancer
Gastrointestinal stomach tumors, lymphomas, carcinoid tumors, leiomyosarcomas, and
Adenocarcinoma are the five significant sorts of stomach cancer. The common kind of this
cancer is Adenocarcinoma, which begins in epithelial tissues and accounts for 90 to 95 percent of
all reported cases. A lymphoma is a rare form of gastric cancer that starts in the gut wall and
extends to immune system organs. Leiomyosarcomas, on the other hand, form in the stomach's
