Study Of Impact Of Diet And Lifestyle Factors On Prevalence Of Gastric Cancer
Main Article Content
Abstract
The second most frequent cancer worldwide and the second greatest cause of cancer-related death is gastric cancer. However, the incidence rates in various geographical areas vary significantly. While the prevalence of stomach cancer has been declining, there are reports that in some areas, the prevalence of gastric cardia cancer is increasing. Infection with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a significant contributor to the development of non-cardia gastric cancer, and evidence has been gathered supporting the primary prevention of gastric cancer by the elimination of H. pylori. Additionally implicated are metabolic, dietary, and behavioral variables. Although addressing these additional factors may improve health, it is uncertain how doing so will actually affect cancer prevention. Anatomically, gastric adenocarcinomas and gastro-esophageal junction adenocarcinomas are distinguished, and histologically, different usage and intestine kinds are distinguished. Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) infection and dietary variables are the primary risk factors for distal gastric cancer, but obesity and gastroesophageal reflux syndrome are significant contributors to the development of proximal stomach cancer. Eliminating H. pylori is a crucial primary prevention measure for stomach cancer. A healthy lifestyle will help avoid stomach cancer. This includes cutting back on red meat and salted and smoked foods, increasing the number of fruits and vegetables in your diet, quitting smoking, and reducing your alcohol use. The review article focuses on mainly the impact of different dietary factors on the incidence of gastric cancer.
