Stomach cancer, also called gastric cancer, occurs when abnormal cells form in the stomach lining. Over time, these cells can grow and spread to nearby tissues. Early detection through screening or evaluation of symptoms improves the understanding and management of the condition.

Symptoms may include persistent stomach pain, unexplained weight loss, nausea, loss of appetite, difficulty swallowing, bloating after meals, and blood in vomit or stool. Symptoms can be subtle initially and should be evaluated by a medical professional.

Diagnosis typically involves an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with biopsy to confirm abnormal cells. Additional tests such as CT scans, endoscopic ultrasound, and blood work help determine the extent and stage of the disease before planning treatment.

Risk factors can include Helicobacter pylori infection, long-term gastritis, smoking, high salt intake, certain dietary patterns, family history, and age over 50. Reducing risk factors and regular medical evaluations may help with early detection.

Specialist care from a gastrointestinal oncologist or surgeon ensures thorough staging, evidence-based treatment planning, and coordinated care. Specialists integrate surgery, chemotherapy, and other therapies according to established medical guidelines, improving the personalization of care.
