Specialist in Gynecological Cancer in Dwarka, Delhi
The mucus-producing cells that line the stomach are where most gastrointestinal cancers begin. Adenocarcinoma is the medical term for this type of cancer. Globally, rates of cancer in the main part of the stomach (stomach body) have been declining for several decades. Cancer in the area where the top of the stomach (cardia) meets the lower end of the swallowing tube (oesophagus) has become much more common during the same time period. The gastroesophageal junction is the name given to this area of the stomach.
Gastro-Intestinal (GI) cancer refers to cancers that affect the digestive system. Cancers of the oesophagus, gallbladder and biliary tract, liver, pancreas, stomach, small intestine, bowel (large intestine or colon and rectum), and anus are examples of this.
Almost everyone has experienced a stomachache at some point in their lives for a variety of reasons. Because it is so common, it is generally not taken seriously. A stomach ache, on the other hand, can be an indication of a far more serious problem, such as digestive tract complications, colitis, or even cancer.
