Need help with PDF files? Stomach cancer Published by BUPA's Health Information Team November 2003 In the UK, stomach - or gastric - cancer is the sixth most common cancer, with about 10,000 people diagnosed each year. Around 6500 of these are men. More than 8 out of 10 cases are diagnosed in people over the age of 60. The success of treatment depends on how early the diagnosis is made. What is cancer? The building blocks of the body are tiny cells, which normally repair and reproduce in a controlled process. With cancer, this process goes wrong and cells can divide and grow in an uncontrolled way, causing a lump - a tumour - on or within the part of the body affected. If this tumour contains cells that are able to invade neighbouring tissues or organs, it is known as malignant. If the tumour does not do this it is termed benign, and is not cancer. The upper digestive tract The stomach The lining of the stomach produces a B acid to help digest food and also protect from harmful bacteria. The food is also broken down mechanically by the churning action of the stomach.

Man Alive 2005 Stomach cancer (gastric cancer) If you or a friend or relative have been diagnosed with cancer, you will find much more detailed information on our patient information site, CancerHelp UK Summary Stomach cancer is the 5th most common cancer for men and the 9th most common cancer for women in the UK. Each year, there are nearly 5,800 new cases of stomach cancer in men and over 3,300 cases in women. Stomach cancer develops from cells within the stomach. More than 9 in 10 stomach cancers affect the cells of the inner lining of the stomach. Stomach cancer can spread to nearby organs in the abdomen, or, through the wall of the stomach, to distant organs and lymph nodes. Risk factors Helicobacter pylori infection Helicobacter pylori infection is a common bacterial infection of the stomach lining. It is strongly linked to stomach ulcers and research has shown that people with the infection are 4 to 5 times more likely to develop stomach cancer than those without it. Diet Eating lots of salted, cured and smoked foods may increase the risk of stomach cancer. Research also suggests that eating plenty of fibre, fruit, vegetables and antioxidant vitamins may help protect against the cancer.

T he overall incidence of gastric cancer in the United States has rapidly declined over the past 50 years. Gastric cancer is now the 13th most common cause of cancer mortality in the United States, with an estimated 12,100 deaths in 2003. However, in developing countries, the incidence of gastric cancer is much higher and is second only to lung cancer in rates of mortality. The typical patient with gastric cancer is male (male-to-female ratio, 1.7:1) and between 40 and 70 years of age (mean age, 65 years)

It occurs mainly in men over 40 years of age. Stomach cancer is difficult to detect in its early stages because it causes few or no symptoms. How does it occur? Several conditions may be precancerous and may increase the risk of stomach cancer. They include: atrophic gastritis, chronic gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining), and infection by a certain type of bacteria pernicious anemia: a chronic vitamin-B12 deficiency anemia that occurs in older adults characterized by numbness and tingling in the extremities achlorhydria: low levels or absence of hydrochloric acid in gastric juice.

Both extremes create inflammatory changes in the stomach lining and a condition called chronic atrophic gastritis, which over time often leads to cancer.

What is stomach cancer? Stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer, is cancer that starts in any part of the stomach. The stomach is just one of many organs located in the abdomen, the area of the body between the chest and the pelvis. Among other organs found in the abdomen are the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and colon. It is important to differentiate among these organs, because cancers and other diseases that affect them present different symptoms and are treated differently. The American Cancer Society estimates that 21,700 Americans (13,400 men and 8,300 women) will be diagnosed with stomach cancer during 2001. Most people diagnosed with stomach cancer are in their 60s and 70s.
