CALL FOR ABSTRACT 12THGHUCG TRACK: GASTROINTESTINAL CANCER

Gastrointestinal Cancer

Doctors classify cancer based on the site where cancer cells first begin to grow. Cancer that forms along the GI tract is termed gastrointestinal cancer (also called the digestive tract). The gastrointestinal tract begins with the oesophagus (the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach) and ends with the anus (where waste exits the body).

Primary GI cancer begins to grow in the digestive tract. Metastatic cancers of the gastrointestinal tract begin in the GI tract but spread to other organs.

Why does gastric cancer occur?

Although the exact cause of stomach cancer is unknown, there are a number of risk factors, including diet and lifestyle.

As well as consuming alcohol and smoking, a diet high in smoked or salted foods and processed meat and low in vegetables is a risk factor for stomach cancer. The microorganism Helicobacter pylori, which infects the inner lining of the stomach, also contributes to the development of cancer.

Some noncancerous conditions in the stomach, such as ulcers or an excess of inner lining cells, can precede cancer. Lastly, certain inherited conditions can increase the risk of developing stomach cancer.

What are the signs of stomach cancer?

Early-stage stomach cancer may not produce any symptoms. Some stomach cancer symptoms, such as early satiety (feeling of fullness), mild abdominal pain, and fatigue, are common and comparable to symptoms of other, less serious conditions.

Nevertheless, certain symptoms are more indicative of stomach cancer. Consult a gastroenterologist if you experience any of the following symptoms for more than two weeks:

Unexplained weight reduction
Extreme abdominal distress
sickness and vomiting
loss of hunger
Vomiting blood
Sticky (dark, sticky) faeces
