Stomach or gastric cancer can develop in any part of the stomach and may spread throughout the stomach and to other organs; particularly the esophagus, lungs and the liver.

    

The symptoms of stomach cancer are abdominal pain/discomfort, vomiting, loss of appetite, changes in bowels habits related to stomach cancer include constipation. In relation to stomach cancer, fatigue is often related to anemia, because of blood loss in the stool or from vomiting.Age, diet, and stomach disease can affect the risk of developing gastric cancer.Males have a higher possibility of developing stomach cancer.

I must also mention that stomach cancer is related to an excessive intake of salt. It is believed that stomach cancer is caused by a bacteria named H. Polyri, and this particular bacteria thrives in a salty environment. Also, in countries where the citizens eat a salty diet of cured meat and fish, such as Japan, stomach cancer is very common. However, as the Japanese diet has become more westernized in recent years, stomach cancer is becoming less common while other western diseases are becoming commonplace.

Stomach cancer is cancer that occurs in the stomach — the muscular sac located in the upper middle of your abdomen, just below your ribs. Your stomach is responsible for receiving and holding the food you eat and then helping to break down and digest it.

Abdominal pain is one of the most common stomach cancer symptoms and is usually what prompts people to seek medical attention. Abdominal pain can range from persistent mild discomfort to severe pain. Pain and discomfort generally occurs in the upper abdomen area. Persistent abdominal pain, regardless of where it occurs, needs to be evaluated by your doctor.
