Gastric Cancer: Symptoms, Stages, Diagnosis & Treatment
Gastric cancer, also known as stomach cancer, develops when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the lining of the stomach. In its early stages, gastric cancer may cause few or no symptoms, but as it progresses, it can lead to signs such as persistent stomach pain, indigestion, nausea, vomiting, unexplained weight loss, loss of appetite, and fatigue. Risk factors include infection with *Helicobacter pylori*, smoking, unhealthy diet, and a family history of stomach cancer. Early detection of gastric cancer greatly improves treatment outcomes. Diagnosis may involve endoscopy, imaging tests, and biopsy, while treatment options depend on the stage of the disease and may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or targeted therapy.
