Risk Factors of Gastric Cancer and Lifestyle Modification for Prevention

Kwang-Pil Ko

Abstract: Gastric cancer has been consistently decreasing worldwide, whereas cardia gastric cancer is on the rise. This indicates that the exposure rates to epidemiological causes are changing. In this study, we aim to review the risk factors for gastric cancer with respect to cardia and non-cardia types. One of the most significant risk factors for gastric cancer is Helicobacter pylori infection. H. pylori infection is known as a risk factor for non-cardia gastric cancer, a… Show more

“…Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most frequently diagnosed malignant cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with more than one million new cases and approximately 770,000 deaths in 2020 ( 1 , 2 ). Host-related factors, including genetic predisposition, environmental exposure factors, and microbial infections, contribute to gastric tumorigenesis ( 3 , 4 ). Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ) infection plays a crucial role in mucosal inflammation, induces histological changes, and promotes the degradation of the architecture and integrity of the gastric epithelium, which is recognized as an important etiological factor of GC ( 5 , 6 ).…”
