Stomach cancer develops in the stomach and can spread to nearby organs and lymph nodes. The risk factors include older age, male sex, certain diets, and infection with H. pylori bacteria. Symptoms may include abdominal discomfort, feeling full after small meals, and weight loss. Stages of stomach cancer are determined by how far the cancer has spread, ranging from stage 0 (early cancer) to stage IV (cancer has spread to distant organs). Treatment options include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and complementary therapies.
