Men over the age of 50 are most at risk.
Stomach cancer symptoms difficult to detect and makes it difficult to diagnose the deadly disease early. One of the causes of cancer is a bacterial infection, which can increase the risk of developing it. It is called Helicobacter pylori, reports the Chronicle.info with reference to RBC-Ukraine.
Helicobacter pylori — it is a type of infection that affects the lining of the stomach and is spread through food and water. British scientists say the bacterial infection will not cause any problems for most people and can be treated.
Other factors that may increase the risk of developing stomach cancer are age, sex, the presence of certain stomach diseases and a family history of the disease — information about the onset and course of the disease.
Men over 50 years of age are most at risk in this regard. In addition, long-term acid reflux, gastritis, and pernicious anemia affect the immune system and increase the risk of cancer.
