Adenocarcinoma of the Stomach
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Adenocarcinoma of the stomach is a type of cancer that originates in the glandular cells that line the inner wall of the stomach, and it is the most common form of gastric cancer.
Associated factors: It has been linked to chronic infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, smoking, certain dietary habits, and a family history of digestive cancer.
Common symptoms: In early stages it can go unnoticed; later it usually causes persistent digestive discomfort, a feeling of early fullness when eating, weight or appetite loss, and, at times, anemia.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist carries out the study of the digestive system and the oncologist coordinates management when cancer is confirmed. If you have digestive discomfort that does not subside over time, seeking a professional evaluation early is essential.
