   Extractions: Stomach cancer, has become relatively uncommon in the United States, it is the most prevalent visceral cancer (second for men, fourth for women). Nevertheless, death rates have been declining since the 1930s to become only about 35% of what they were at that time. The decrease has been worldwide and for unexplained reasons. It remains the most prevalent carcinoma in East Asia, with the rate in Japan being more than seven times that in the United States, accounting for one-third of all cancer deaths on those islands. The repetitive ingestion of high concentrations of salt irritates the stomach lining, and this has been proposed as a potential cause of gastric cancer. In fact, the decline in the incidence of this disease has been correlated with the decline in the salt preservation of foods. In regions in which stomach cancer remains common, such as Japan, salted seafood has remained a dietary staple. The incidence of gastric cancer among first-generation immigrants from Japan to the West is similar to that in their communities of origin, but it declines to the incidence of the Western community in which the next generation resides. This suggests that the neoplastic process begins irreversibly during childhood, regardless of relocation or dietary changes after a certain age. Because this is not a genetically determined disease, a generation that has not been exposed to the inducing irritant of salt at a critical age presumably will not suffer inordinately from this neoplasm.

   Extractions: 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 occur in them have different symptoms and are treated differently. The American Cancer Society estimates that 21,900 people will be diagnosed with stomach cancer in 1999, and 13,500 people will die from it. What causes stomach cancer?

   Extractions: What Is Stomach Cancer? Cancer occurs when cells in a part of the body begin to grow out of control. There are many kinds of cancer and they all come about because of out-of-control growth of abnormal cells. Different types of cancer behave very differently. Lung cancer, breast cancer vaginal cancer , and liver cancer are very different diseases. The diseases grow at different rates and respond to different treatments. People with cancer need treatment that is aimed at their kind of cancer. Stomach cancer, also called gastric cancer starts in the stomach. The stomach is divided into five different layers. Cancer can develop in any of these sections. To view the stomach, click

It occurs all over the world, in countries with different foods. But there has been a marked decrease in cases in the United States over the past 50 years. That is probably because we are eating less salty, cured and smoked foods and smoking fewer cigarettes than before. We are also eating more fruits and vegetables. Stomach cancer may have a family link and also an apparent connection to gastritis and stomach ulcers. It is sometimes seen in people who had stomach surgery many years before. Often there are very few symptoms in the early stages.

   Extractions: What Is Stomach Cancer? Each year, about 24,000 people in the United States learn that they have cancer of the stomach. Stomach cancer (also called gastric cancer) can develop in any part of the stomach and may spread throughout the stomach and to other organs. The cancer may grow along the stomach wall into the esophagus or small intestine. Stomach cancer also may extend through the stomach wall and spread to nearby lymph nodes and to organs such as the liver, pancreas, and colon. The cancer also may spread to distant organs, such as the lungs, the lymph nodes above the collar bone, and the ovaries. The stomach cancer rate in the United States and the number of deaths from this disease have gone down dramatically over the past 60 years. Still, stomach cancer is a serious disease, and scientists all over the world are trying to learn more about what causes this disease and how to prevent it.

    Extractions: Cancer of the stomach, or gastric cancer, is a disease in which stomach cells become malignant (cancerous) and grow out of control, forming a tumor. Almost all (95%) of stomach cancers start in the glandular tissue that lines the stomach. The tumor may spread along the stomach wall or may grow directly through the wall and shed cells into the bloodstream or lymphatic system. Once beyond the stomach, cancer can spread to other organs. Stomach cancers are classified according to the type of tissue where they originate. The most common, adenocarcinomas, start in the glandular stomach lining. Other forms include lymphomas, which involve the lymphatic system, and sarcomas, which involve the connective tissue (muscle, fat, or blood vessels). Although the number of stomach cancer cases has declined over the past 60 years, it is still the seventh leading cause of cancer death in the United States. The exact cause of stomach cancer is unknown, but most are believed to result from exposure to carcinogens (various cancer-causing agents), especially nitrates substances found in prepared foods (especially meats) that are dried, smoked, salted, or pickled. Carcinogens cause errors in the genetic code that controls growth and repair of cells.

    Extractions: The stomach is an expandable sack located mostly under the left lung, between the muscular "diaphragm" which pushes up the lung, and the coiled small intestine. The stomach is close-by important organs in the abdomen. To it's right is the liver , to it's lower left is the spleen , and underneath it is the pancreas . The esophagus enters the stomach at the "gastro-esophageal" junction, while the small intestine exits it at the lowermost "antrum" . The front of the stomach rests on the abdominal wall, and lower parts of it also contact the upper left kidney and "transverse" colon. You can see that the stomach is in the midst of many vital organs, and infections or cancers can spread to these organs. Important areas of the stomach itself (besides the antrum and gastro-esophageal junction) are the "greater curvature" (basically the left wall of the stomach), the "lesser curvature" (the right wall), the "fundus"

    Extractions: Factsheet 2 The Department of Health has introduced national guidelines for GPs who suspect that a patient may have cancer. The guidelines help them to decide when they should refer the patient for an urgent appointment within two weeks with a hospital specialist. This factsheet describes what will happen if your GP thinks you may have a cancer that affects the upper part of the digestive system. These are cancer of the oesophagus (the tube that takes food from the mouth to the stomach), or cancer of the stomach or the pancreas (the organ which makes the hormone insulin). The factsheet is designed to be read with the booklet Understanding the NHS cancer referral guidelines , which explains how the system works in more detail.

    Extractions: Home Treatment Overview Overview Therapy ... Contact Overview Ninety-five percent of stomach cancer begins in the glandular tissue lining the stomach. Occasionally, a tumor may develop in the lymph tissue or in the muscles of the stomach walls. Individuals in their 60s and 70s represent the largest population of people with stomach cancer. Men are twice as likely as women to get stomach cancer. Because stomach cancer has few symptoms, only 10 to 20 percent of this cancer is diagnosed before it has spread to other sites. Stomach cancer was the leading cause of death between 1900 and 1945; however, in recent times, its incidence has decreased by 60 percent. Dietary changes are highly suspected. Stomach cancer is now the ninth leading cause of death in men and the eleventh in women. Back to Top Therapy Surgery Cryosurgery uses ultrasonic monitoring to direct a cold probe into the liver tumor. Liquid nitrogen delivered through the probe freezes the tumor; heated nitrogen then thaws it. This freeze-thaw process permanently damages the tumor, causing its cells to die. These tumor cells are gradually reabsorbed by the body. John Wayne Cancer Institute's surgeons are some of the world's most experienced specialists in this innovative technique. They have published their findings in important medical journals.
