What is stomach cancer?
Stomach cancer is characterized by the growth of cancerous cells within the lining of the stomach. It is also commonly referred to as gastric cancer. It is difficult to diagnose because most people typically do not show any kind of symptoms in the earlier stages. For the past several decades, the rates of cancer in the main part of the stomach have been decreasing. During the same period, cancer in the area where the top part of the stomach meets the lower end of the oesophagus has become much more common. This area of the stomach is commonly referred to as gastroesophageal junction. Also, stomach cancers are more common in men than in women.
