Gastric cancer, commonly known as stomach cancer, develops when malignant cells form in the lining of the stomach. It is one of the more prevalent cancers globally and tends to be diagnosed at an advanced stage because early gastric cancer often produces no significant symptoms. When symptoms do appear, they may include persistent indigestion, bloating after eating, nausea, loss of appetite, unexplained weight loss, and in some cases, vomiting blood or passing dark stools. Risk factors for gastric cancer include infection with Helicobacter pylori bacteria, a diet high in smoked or salty foods, smoking, family history of stomach cancer, and chronic gastric ulcers. Diagnosis is confirmed through upper endoscopy and biopsy, supported by CT scans and staging laparoscopy to determine the extent of spread. Surgery is the cornerstone of curative treatment for gastric cancer. Depending on the location and stage of the tumor, a partial gastrectomy or total gastrectomy may be performed, sometimes along with removal of nearby lymph nodes. Minimally invasive laparoscopic gastrectomy is increasingly used in appropriate cases. Surgery is often combined with chemotherapy before and after the procedure to reduce the risk of recurrence. A multidisciplinary team approach, including oncologists, dietitians, and rehabilitation specialists, plays a vital role in improving outcomes and quality of life for gastric cancer patients.
