*!Scientists don’t know exactly what makes cancer cells start growing in the stomach. But they do know a few things that can raise your risk for the disease. One of them is infection with a common bacteria, H. pylori, which causes ulcers. Inflammation in your gut called gastritis, long-lasting anemia, and growths in your stomach called polyps also can make you more likely to get cancer.

*!Gastric cancers that have enlarged and invaded normal tissue can cause weakness, fatigue, bloating of the stomach after meals, abdominal pain in the upper abdomen, nausea and occasional vomiting, diarrhea orconstipation. Further enlargement may cause weight loss or bleeding with vomiting blood or having blood in the stool, the latter apparent as black discolouration (melena) and sometimes leading to anemia. Dysphagia suggests a tumour in the cardia or extension of the gastric tumour into the esophagus.

*!The aetiology of cancer is unknown. But such pathologic condition as benign tumour, ulcer of the stomach, gastritis and stomach polyps have been determined to contribute considerably to its development. According to certain data the use of too hot or too cold food, smoking and alcohol are considered to be responsible for the development of stomach carcinoma.

*!In the past few years a virus theory of cancer has been suggested. Though this theory is supported by many it has not yet been proved. For an along time many scientists have been discussing the importance of hereditary factors in the development of cancer. Thehereditary theory has not yet been confirmed either.

*!For a very early stage of cancer, some doctors may recommend a non-surgical treatment called endoscopic mucosal resection. It is the removal of the tumor with endoscope. In the early stage when the cancer is still in the stomach, surgery is used to remove the part of the stomach, called a subtotal gastrectomy.
