    Stomach cancer, also called gastric cancer, is characterized by the growth of cancerous cells within the lining of the stomach. It stages from stage I where cancer cells may have spread to a limited number of nearby lymph nodes to stage IV where the cancer has spread distantly in the body. Common causes include smoking, stomach polyps, pernicious anemia, and a diet low in fruits and vegetables. Symptoms can include fatigue, stomach pain, weight loss, nausea, and indigestion. Diagnosis involves endoscopy, CT/PET scans, biopsy, and blood/urine tests. Treatment may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, and immunotherapy. Prevention focuses on maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced low
