What is ɢᴀsᴛʀɪᴄ ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ?
sᴛᴏᴍᴀᴄʜ ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ, also called ɢᴀsᴛʀɪᴄ ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ, is due to the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells on the inner lining of the stomach. ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ manifests depending on the type of ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ and the cell type or the organ affected.
sᴛᴏᴍᴀᴄʜ ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ rarely produces warning signs in the initial stages or the signs can be vague or ill-defined. ɢᴀsᴛʀɪᴄ ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ has been linked with one skin eruption, especially on the face. It can usually occur in the early stages of the disease.
Symptom on skin
Occasionally, the condition may manifest cutaneously, causing the eruption of a rash on the face, known as Papuloerythroderma.
A report published in the Chinese Journal of Cancer research states: “Its typical manifestations are diffuse flushing papules, infiltrations, swelling and desquamation in almost all our body, especially in the face and the creases.
Along with your skin, it may also impact the mucus, the skin appendages and the lymph nodes. The skin condition is also accompanied by itching.
Other early signs to look for
– poor appetite
– sudden weight loss
– abdominal pain
– discomfort or swelling in the abdomen
– heartburn
– indigestion
– nausea and vomiting, which could be with or without blood
– feel full too soon after eating only a small amount of food
– Low hemoglobin
How to prevent sᴛᴏᴍᴀᴄʜ ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ
Eating a diet full of colorful fruits and green vegetables may reduce the risk of sᴛᴏᴍᴀᴄʜ ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ. Also include plenty of whole grain foods, such as whole grain bread, cereals, pasta and rice. Researchers have also found that limiting the amount of alcohol and avoiding tomato products may also help in prevention of ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ. Avoiding pickled foods, salted meats and fish can also help to protect your stomach. Some studies show that increasing plant-based foods reduces the risk of ғᴀᴛᴀʟ sᴛᴏᴍᴀᴄʜ ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ in men, but not women.
