In the UK, over 70% of stomach cancer cases are diagnosed at an advanced stage, where survival rates are much lower. Early detection can improve 5-year survival rates to over 70%.

Keep an eye out for these symptoms:
•Persistent indigestion or heartburn
•Feeling full after small meals
•Unexplained weight loss
•Nausea or vomiting (sometimes with blood)
•Black, tarry stools
•Persistent upper stomach pain
•Fatigue or weakness
•Swollen or painful abdomen

If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, make an appointment to get checked out by your GP as soon as possible.
Early detection saves lives.

As part of #LessSurvivableCancersAwarenessWeek, we're highlighting the importance of symptom awareness. If you notice anything unusual for you, don’t hesitate—see your GP.

Gastric cancer, commonly referred to as stomach cancer, arises from the cells lining the stomach. It is a complex disease that can present in several different forms, primarily based on the type of cell it originates from and its location within the stomach.

Types of Gastric Cancer:

1.Adenocarcinoma: This is the most common type of gastric cancer, accounting for about 90-95% of all cases. It originates in the glandular cells of the stomach lining that secrete mucus and other digestive fluids.
2.Lymphoma: These cancers develop from the immune system tissues found in the stomach wall. Gastric lymphomas are relatively rare.
3.Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs): These are rare tumors that begin in the interstitial cells of Cajal in the stomach wall, which are part of the autonomic nervous system.
4.Carcinoid Tumors: These originate from hormone-producing cells in the stomach and are generally slow-growing.

There are many possible symptoms of oesophageal cancer, but they might be hard to spot.

They can affect your digestion, such as:

- Having problems swallowing (dysphagia)
- Feeling or being sick or acid reflux
- Symptoms of indigestion, such as burping a lot

Other symptoms include:

- A cough that is not getting better
- A hoarse voice
- Loss of appetite or losing weight without trying to
- Feeling tired or having no energy
- Pain in your throat or the middle of your chest, especially when swallowing
- Black poo or coughing up blood (although these are uncommon)

If you have another condition, such as gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, you may get symptoms like these regularly.

You might find you get used to them. But it’s important to be checked by a GP if your symptoms change, get worse, or do not feel normal for you.

Early detection is key! 🔑
