There are different types of cancer that can occur in the stomach.
The most common is known as: adenocarcinoma, which begins with one of the common types of cells found in the stomach lining. This is a common cancer of the digestive tract that occurs worldwide. It is more common in men over 40 years of age. This type of stomach cancer is common in East Asia, parts of South America, and Central and Eastern Europe.
-Family history of this disease.
-Having a stomach infection caused by a bacteria called Helicobacter pylori.
-Having a polyp larger than two centimeters in the stomach.
-Suffering from long-term stomach inflammation and swelling (chronic atrophic gastritis).
-Having pernicious anemia.
Symptoms

-General health deterioration.
-Loss of appetite.
-Nausea.

Treatment
Surgery to remove the stomach called: gastrectomy, is the only treatment that can cure gastric adenocarcinoma. Radiation therapy and chemotherapy may help and can improve the chances of a cure after surgery.
Outlook
It depends on how far the
cancer has spread at the time of diagnosis. Tumors in the lower part of the stomach generally heal more often than those in the upper area. The possibility of a cure also depends on how far the tumor has penetrated the stomach wall and whether there is involvement of the lymph nodes.
When the tumor has spread beyond the stomach, a cure is not possible. In this case, the goal of treatment is symptom relief.
Possible Complications
-Fluid accumulation in the abdominal area (ascites).
-Gastrointestinal bleeding.
-Spread of cancer to other organs or tissues.
-Weight loss.
Prevention
Screening programs are effective in identifying the disease in its early stages.
The following may help reduce the risk of stomach cancer:
-Eat a healthy, balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
-Take medication to treat reflux disease if it occurs.
-Take antibiotics if diagnosed with H. Pylori infection.
