Stomach cancer is an abnormal growth of cells in the stomach. It is common in men but women get it too. It can be caused by aging, smoking, genes, ulcers and long term H plyori bacterial infection of the stomach. Symptoms include pain in the upper abdomen(especially after eating), loss of weight and appetite, feeling sick, passing out blood in feaces. As the cancer grows in the stomach the signs become severe and can spread to other parts of the body. Stomach cancer can be cured if detected early, so visit the nearest health centre for diagnosis and care IMMEDIATELY if you present any of these symptoms. Cancer kills-early treatment can save your life!
