Gastric tumors can be benign or malignant. The most common malignant tumors are adenocarcinoma, lymphoma, and gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Risk factors for gastric cancer include H. pylori infection, diet, genetics, and conditions causing gastric atrophy. Early detection of gastric cancer improves survival rates. Treatment depends on the stage but may involve surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Gastric lymphoma is usually non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and has a better prognosis than adenocarcinoma. GIST tumors originate in the stomach wall and can be benign or malignant depending on size and other characteristics.
