Stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer, is the presence of cancerous cells in the lining of the stomach. It is a relatively common form of cancer that often develops slowly over many years.

Risk factors for stomach cancer include:

1. Helicobacter pylori infection: This bacterium is found in the stomach and can cause inflammation and ulcers, increasing the risk of cancer.
2. Age: Stomach cancer is more common in people over the age of 55.
3. Diet: A diet high in salted, smoked, or pickled foods.
