Although anyone can get stomach cancer, people over the age of 60 are at a higher risk. According to a study, there is a higher risk of this cancer in women.

Symptoms of gastric cancer

Gastric cancer can spread not only to the stomach but also to other parts of the body. For example, if this cancer reaches the lymph nodes, a lump may form. You can feel it through the skin. If the cancer spreads to the liver, the skin and whites of the eyes may turn yellow. If the cancer spreads to the stomach, it may fill with fluid. Due to which swelling of the stomach is seen.

Causes of gastric cancer

According to health experts, in most cases it starts with damage to the inner layer of the stomach. Stomach infection, long-term acid reflux problem, can also be caused by eating too much salty food.
