I always ate the stew as an appetizer...stomach cancer?

The Ministry of Health and Welfare and the National Cancer Registry (National Cancer Center) released national cancer registry statistics on the 27th. A total of 282,047 new cancer cases were reported in 2022. The most common cancers were thyroid, colon, lung, breast, stomach, and prostate, in that order. The incidence of stomach, liver, and cervical cancers, which are included in the national cancer screening program, has been declining over the past decade. In particular, stomach cancer, which had been the most common cancer for decades, has drawn attention by dropping to fifth place. What changes have occurred in stomach cancer?

 

Which cancer is the most common? ... female breast cancer , male lung cancer

 

The most common cancers by gender are breast cancer, thyroid cancer, colon cancer, lung cancer, stomach cancer, and pancreatic cancer for women. For men, the order is lung cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, and thyroid cancer. In particular, stomach cancer has long been the most common cancer, but it is showing a clear downward trend. This is likely due to the spread of health information, leading people to be more careful about their diet, such as eating less salty foods, which are a risk factor. People over 40 are eligible for a national cancer screening, a gastroscopy, every two years, which is also contributing to the decline in mortality rates.

Gastric cancer ranked fifth in the world, with 29,487 new cases reported in 2022 alone. Thyroid cancer was the most common cancer, with 33,914 new cases. This was followed by colon cancer with 33,158 cases, lung cancer with 32,313 cases, and breast cancer with 29,528 cases. It's notable that breast cancer surpassed stomach cancer in terms of the number of cases. In addition to genetic and hormonal factors, the spread of a Western-style diet, characterized by high-calorie, high-fat foods, has led to a recent increase in breast cancer cases. Factors that contribute to gastric cancer include smoking and Helicobacter pylori infection, in addition to salty and burnt foods.

Helicobacter pylori infection is also a cause of stomach cancer. It is an infectious disease caused by the spiral-shaped Helicobacter pylori bacterium, which lives between the stomach lining and mucus. The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified Helicobacter pylori, which can survive in stomach acid, as a carcinogen. In addition to genetics, the occurrence of two or more stomach cancer cases in a family is influenced by cultural factors such as sharing salty side dishes and sharing soups with individual spoons. These days, many people use separate plates, which is helping to reduce the risk of stomach cancer.

 

Misdiagnosed as simple indigestion and left untreated ... Symptoms of stomach cancer , Prevention is ?

 

To prevent stomach cancer, you should also quit smoking. Smoking increases the risk of stomach cancer by 2.5 times (according to the National Cancer Information Center). This is because cigarette smoke, which contains carcinogens, permeates the stomach and blood vessels, damaging the mucous membrane. Less salty and less charred foods, such as green onions, garlic, onions, and other lily family vegetables and fruits, are good for the stomach lining.

 

Stomach cancer often has no symptoms in its early stages. If symptoms like heartburn, indigestion, or abdominal pain appear, the condition is already quite advanced. However, it's often mistaken for simple indigestion and left untreated. While the incidence of stomach cancer is on the decline, it still kills nearly 30,000 people annually. Those with a family history of the disease should be especially cautious.
