| | Stomach cancer |
| | Diagnosis of stomach cancers should be conducted carefully so that if the tumor does not require treatment the patient is not subjected to a surgical operation. | | | In the advanced stages of gastric cancer, radiation therapy is used to ease symptoms such as pain and bleeding. | | | Staging of stomach cancer is based on how deep the growth has penetrated the stomach lining; to what extent (if any) it has invaded surrounding lymph nodes; and to what extent (if any) it has spread to distant parts of the body (metastasized). |

| | This is true for stomach cancers as well, though as a group, these cancers are sometimes difficult to detect and always difficult to treat effectively. | | | The adenocarcinomas are cancers that arise in the glandular lining of the stomach (the so-called mucosa) and from there they may invade the remainder of the stomach wall and/or send distant seedings (metastases) to other organs. | | | Repeated testing of such individuals had documented a gradual changing of the cells of their stomachs from normal to early changes then to precancerous changes and eventually to cancer. |

| | Stomach cancer is very common in Japan and the Japanese have developed an intensive and effective approach to screening for stomach cancer. | | | During a gastroscopy, the doctor examines the inside of the stomach using a camera attached to a flexible tube and is able to take a sample from the tumour for biopsy and microscopy. | | | This can progress to a sensation of vague discomfort followed by pain if the tumour grows through the stomach wall. |

| | The stomach is just one of many organs located in the abdomen, the area of the body between the chest and the pelvis. | | | The endoscope allows the physician to view the inside of this area of the body, as well as to insert instruments through a scope for the removal of a sample of tissue for biopsy (if necessary). | | | But, knowing your risk factors to any disease can help to guide you into the appropriate actions, including changing behaviors and being clinically monitored for the disease. |
