Over 22,000 patients in the U.S. are diagnosed with gastric cancer every year. Gastric cancer generally comes in two forms. One is an adenocarcinoma, which accounts for about 90%, and the other 10% consist of less common forms like gastrointestinal stromal tumors or GIST. There are many risk factors for stomach cancer, including an infection with bacteria called Helicobacter pylori, which is also known as H. pylori. There’s a symptom called early satiety where we eat a little bit and we feel full. An endoscopy is used to diagnose gastric cancer and gastric cancer can be cured if caught early.
