FAQ
Frequently Ask Questions.
The exact cause of stomach cancer is not known, but certain risk factors can increase the likelihood of developing the disease. These include infection with Helicobacter pylori bacteria, a history of stomach polyps or chronic gastritis, smoking, family history of stomach cancer, a diet high in salty and smoked foods, obesity, and certain genetic conditions.
Pancreatic cancer is a malignant tumor that forms in the tissues of the pancreas, an organ located behind the stomach. It is a serious and often aggressive form of cancer.
In some cases, esophageal cancer can have a genetic component. Certain inherited gene mutations, such as mutations in the TP53 gene or familial cancer syndromes like Lynch syndrome, can increase the risk of developing esophageal cancer. If you have a family history of esophageal cancer, it is advisable to consult with a genetic counselor or healthcare professional to assess your individual risk.
