MAIN SEARCH INDEX Stomach cancer Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources Definition Stomach cancer (also known as gastric cancer) is a disease in which the cells forming the inner lining of the stomach become abnormal and start to divide uncontrollably, forming a mass called a tumor. Description The stomach is a J-shaped organ that lies in the left and central portion of the abdomen. The stomach produces many digestive juices and acids that mix with food and aid in the process of digestion. There are five regions of the stomach that doctors refer to when determining the origin of stomach cancer. These are: the cardia, area surrounding the cardiac sphincter which controls movement of food from the esophagus into the stomach, the fundus, upper expanded area adjacent to the cardiac region, the antrum, lower region of the stomach where it begins to narrow, the prepyloric, region just before or nearest the pylorus, and the pylorus, the terminal region where the stomach joins the small intestine Cancer can develop in any of the five sections of the stomach. Symptoms and outcomes of the disease will vary depending on the location of the cancer.

Palestinian officials on Wednesday denied rumors that Arafat had last week suffered a mild heart attack and explained that Arafat has been suffering from a bad case of the flu or an intestinal infection. But according to a source inside the compound, the recent working diagnosis is that Arafat is suffering from stomach cancer. Al-Jazeera TV reported Wednesday that two teams of doctors, one from Jordan and the other from Egypt, arrived in Ramallah Wednesday to treat Arafat. Abu Dhabi TV reported on Thursday that following their examination of the Palestinian leader, the Egyptian doctors "expressed concern" about the state of his health. Neither report specified his condition. March 25, 2002

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.

home find a BWH doctor request an appointment about BWH ... Home Stomach Cancer Cancer Information: Stomach Cancer Overview Stomach cancer has decreased as the most common cause of cancer deaths in males in 1930 to one of the less common causes of cancer death today. This decrease in cancer death is almost entirely accounted for by decrease in the incidence of the disease rather than improved treatment or better detection. Stomach cancer remains common in Asia and Japan and first generation immigrants to the U.S. retain a high risk for the disease. The marked decrease in the risk of stomach cancer is unexplained since the cause of stomach cancer is unknown. Changes in diet, food preservation by refrigeration rather than salting and smoking tobacco rather than chewing it have all been cited as possibly contributing to the declining incidence. The stomach is the dilated upper part of the intestinal tube. That tube has an inner lining, a muscular coat and a thin outer layer. Cancers originate in the inner lining of the stomach and can invade into or through the muscular wall of the stomach and can spread to the lymph nodes in the area. The prognosis or likelihood of cure is related to the degree of invasion of the wall of the stomach and the presence or absence of lymph node metastases. Early detection of stomach cancer is difficult because serious symptoms such as pain and weight loss tend to occur only when the cancer is large and early symptoms such as heartburn are much more commonly associated with benign conditions. The finding of blood in the stool may lead to detection of small early cancers. There are no blood tests for early detection of stomach cancer. Only the stool guaiac test for small amounts of blood in the stool and examination of the stomach with an endoscope for heartburn unrelieved by medication will likely lead to early detection of the stomach cancer.

Additional Sources Of Information Other helpful websites: Yahoo! Health WebMD NIH What Is Stomach Cancer? Stomach cancer is a disease in which normal cells in the stomach tissues become cancerous and grow out of control. Experts have been unable to define one primary cause for stomach cancer, but many factors seem to be involved. Some research suggests that stomach ulcers or stomach polyps can lead to cancer. Stomach ulcers are raw or inflamed areas of the stomach lining and also are called gastric ulcers Stomach polyps are noncancerous round growths that project into the stomach cavity Environmental factors or infection by the bacteria Helicobacter pylori may be possible causes. Poor diet has also been implicated. The symptoms of stomach cancer in the early stages can be vague and include indigestion, discomfort, nausea, or heartburn. Early symptoms are also symptomatic of many other gastrointestinal conditions (pertaining to the digestive tract), so having symptoms does not necessarily mean stomach cancer.
