Gastric cancer:

Gastric cancer is one of the most common human cancer types. In overall, cancer initiates when an error (mutation) occurs in a cell's DNA. The mutation grounds the cell to raise and split at a rapid rate and to continue living when a normal cell would die. The accumulating cancerous cells form a tumor that can invade nearby structures. And cancer cells can breakdown off from the tumor to feast throughout the body. Gastro esophageal cancer is associated with having gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD) and, less strongly, with obesity and smoking. The diagnosis often requires endoscopy, pursued by biopsy of suspicious tissue. The action depends on the location of the tumor, as well as the form of cancer cell and whether it has invaded other tissues or spread elsewhere, these factors also determine the prognosis. Esophageal cancer is the sixth-most-common cancer in the world, and its occurrence is increasing.
