Also called: Gastric Cancer
Gastric (stomach) cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the lining of the stomach. The stomach is in the upper abdomen and helps digest food.
Almost all gastric cancers are adenocarcinomas (cancers that begin in cells that make and release mucus and other fluids). Other types of gastric cancer are gastrointestinal carcinoid tumors, gastrointestinal stromal tumors, and lymphomas.
Gastrointestinal complications (e.g., constipation, fecal impaction, bowel obstruction, diarrhea) can result from cancer or its treatment.
