What is Stomach Cancer?
Stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer, develops when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the lining of the stomach. The disease often progresses slowly, and early symptoms can be mild or overlooked, which may delay diagnosis.
Common symptoms associated with stomach cancer include:
- Loss of appetite or unexplained weight loss
- Persistent indigestion or heartburn
- Nausea or vomiting
- Abdominal pain or discomfort
- Feeling full after eating small amounts of food
The choice of treatment depends on the stage of cancer, its location, and the patient's overall health. Treatment commonly includes chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, or a combination of these approaches. Early diagnosis and timely treatment play an important role in improving outcomes.
