Stop Smoking Before You Get Stomach Cancer and Kidney Cancer

Stomach Cancer

Stomach cancer, also known as gastric carcinoma, comes in a variety of forms.  The most common form Adenocarcinoma is the most common type of cancer affecting the digestive tract in the world.  It occurs most often in men over 40.  Diagnosis of stomach cancer is often delayed because there are not early symptoms or because sufferers mistake it for other less serious disorders, such as a sense of fullness, bloating, or gas.

Symptoms of stomach cancer include difficulty swallowing, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and feeling of fullness, abdominal pain, breath odor, excessive belching, excessive gas, weight loss, and a general decline in health.
