3. WHAT IS STOMACH CANCER?
Stomach cancer, which is also called gastric cancer, is a growth of cells that
starts in the stomach. The stomach is in the upper middle part of the belly, just
below the ribs. The stomach helps to break down and digest food.
Stomach cancer can happen in any part of the stomach. In most of the world,
stomach cancers happen in the main part of the stomach. This part is called the
stomach body.
Stomach Cancer is more likely to start by the gastroesophageal junction. This is
the part where the long tube that carries food you swallow meets the stomach.
The tube that carries food to the stomach is called the esophagus.

5. PREVENTION
• To lower the risk of stomach cancer, you can:
• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Try to include fruits and vegetables in your diet
each day. Choose a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables.
• Reduce the amount of salty and smoked foods you eat. Protect your stomach by
limiting these foods.
• Stop smoking. If you smoke, quit. If you don't smoke, don't start. Smoking increases
your risk of stomach cancer and many other types of cancer. Quitting smoking can be
very hard, so ask your health care provider for help.
• Tell your health care provider if stomach cancer runs in your family. People with a
strong family history of stomach cancer might have stomach cancer screening.
Screening tests can detect stomach cancer before it causes symptoms.
