Gastric cancer is a malignant neoplasm that develops from the gastric mucosa and can affect both the upper and lower parts of the stomach. One of the most common types of stomach cancer is diffuse cancer, which has a more aggressive course and a high risk of metastasis.
The diffuse form of stomach cancer is an extensive lesion of the mucous membrane, involving a significant part of the stomach or even the entire organ. This means that the tumor spreads over a larger area than the flat or pitted form and can quickly lead to intestinal obstruction and gastric perforation.
Gastric cancer is characterized by a high mortality rate associated with late presentation of patients to a doctor and ineffective therapy. In addition, the disease is often diagnosed at an advanced stage, which increases the risk of complications and worsens the prognosis for the patient.
The main causes of stomach cancer are smoking, drinking alcohol and poor diet. Evil
