Methods —A case-control study was con- ducted based on the death certificates of several million deaths in 24 states of the United States in 1984–96. Overall, the data base included 41 957 deaths from stomach cancer among subjects aged > 25 years. These were 20 878 white men, 14 125 white women, 4215 African American men, and 2739 African American women. Two con- trols for each case were selected from among subjects ...

This evidence is based upon studies of nuclear workers exposed to ionizing radiation. These findings are consistent with the National Research Council’s determination that the stomach is sensitive to ionizing radiation.

Stomach Cancer 90 CANCER INCIDENCE AND MORTALITY IN NEW MEXICO, 1970-1996 Major Epidemiologic Features Cancer of the stomach is a relatively rare disease in the U.S., accounting for about 2% of all annually diagnosed cancers and cancer deaths. At the turn of the century, stomach cancer was the leading cause of cancer death in U.S. males and the third leading cause in females. The sharp decline in the occurrence of stomach cancer in this century is attributed in part to the advent of widespread refrigeration, which lead to a decrease in the curing of foods and an increase in access to fresh fruits and vegetables year round. This is fortunate since stomach cancer often is not detected until an advanced state and survival is rather low. Only about 18% of patients diagnosed with stomach cancer survive five years or more after diagnosis. Incidence ...

A BASIC INFORMATION DESCRIPTION Uncontrolled growth of malignant cells in the stomach . It affects adults over age 40 and is twice as common in men as women. Unfortunately, most people do not have symptoms until the disease is advanced. It is com- mon in Japan. FREQUENT SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS Early stages: • Vague symptoms of indigestion, such as fullness, burping, nausea and poor appetite. Later stages: • Unexplained weight loss. • Loss of appetite. • Vomiting blood. • Black stools. • Fullness after eating small amounts. • Anemia. • Pain in the upper abdomen. • Mass in the upper abdomen that can be felt (some- times). CAUSES Unknown. Evidence suggests that a lack of fresh fruits and vegetables may be a factor. RISK INCREASES WITH • Males over age 40. • Family history of stomach cancer . • Pernicious anemia. ...

stomach cancer Stomach (Gastric) Cancer : The Facts What is it? Stomach Cancer , which is also called Gastric Cancer , is the term used for cancer that originates in the lining of the stomach . The stomach is the J-shaped organ in the upper abdomen, and is part of the digestive system. It is connected to the esophagus (food-pipe) and the small intestine. Food travels down the esophagus and into the stomach . There it is mixed with digestive juices from the lining of the stomach and broken down. Two or three hours later, the partially digested food moves into the small intestine, and then to the large intestine (colon). Stomach Cancer usually begins in the lining of the stomach . The stomach has four layers of lining. The innermost lining, the mucosa, contains the ...

stomach cancer Stomach (Gastric) Cancer : Treatment Options How is it treated? Many precancerous ulcerations of the stomach are due to an infection with helicobacteria. Treatment with an antibiotic eradicates the lesions before invasive cancer develops. As with most forms of Cancer , treatment for Stomach Cancer depends on a variety of factors. A physician will consider the type of Cancer , its stage, and its growth patterns when deciding on a treatment. The doctor will also consider the patient?s age, overall health, and personal preferences. By far the most common treatment, and the only way to cure Stomach Cancer , is surgery. Surgery is often combined with radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy to destroy as much of the cancer as possible. Surgery for Stomach Cancer ...

In the 1970s, when he worked as a pathologist in the Colombian city of Cali, Pelayo Correa noticed that migrants from the state of Nariño in the country’s southwest seemed prone to stomach cancer . Later studies showed that these people indeed are five times as likely to get the disease as other Colombians are. Now at Louisiana State University (LSU) in New Orleans, Correa has come up with a way to derail incipient stomach cancer as it marches through its predictable stages of aberrant cell growth in the stomach lining. Correa and his colleagues in Colombia and at LSU report in the Dec. 6 J OURNAL OF THE N ATIONAL C ANCER I NSTITUTE that antibiotics, vitamin C, or beta-carotene—a precursor of vitamin A—can reverse precancerous stomach conditions. In 1992, the researchers began taking stomach biopsies of more than 1,200 Nariño adults. ...

20 4 Cancer of the stomach Summary Relative survival after a diagnosis of cancer of the stomach was poor when compared with other cancer sites. For the period 1992–1997, relative survival one year after diagnosis of cancer of the stomach was 46.4% for males and 47.0% for females. The five-year relative survival proportion for males was 22.6% and for females was 24.8% (Table 4.1). Survival ten years after diagnosis was 20.1% for males and 21.4% for females in 1987–1991, the most recent period for which ten-year relative survival data are available (Tables 4.2 and 4.3). Between the diagnosis periods 1982–1986, 1987–1991 and 1992–1997, stomach cancer relative survival increased. This increase was significant between 1982–1986 and 1992–1997 (Figure 4.1). Also, there was a significant increase in stomach cancer relative survival for males between the diagnosis ...

STOMACH CANCER What Is Cancer ? Cancer is a group of many related diseases. All forms of cancer involve out-of-control growth and spread of abnormal cells. Normal body cells grow, divide, and die in an orderly fashion. During the early years of a person's life, normal cells divide more rapidly until the person becomes an adult. After that, normal cells of most tissues divide only to replace worn-out or dying cells and to repair injuries. Cancer cells, however, continue to grow and divide, and can spread to other parts of the body. These cells accumulate and form tumors (lumps) that may compress, invade, and destroy normal tissue. If cells break away from such a tumor, they can travel through the bloodstream, or the lymph system to other areas of the body. There, they may settle and form "colony" tumors. In their new location, the cancer cells continue growing. The spread of a tumor ...
