    malignancy originating in the stomach lining

    Stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer, is a type of malignancy that originates in the lining of the stomach. It often develops slowly over many years and can be associated with risk factors such as Helicobacter pylori infection, smoking, and certain dietary habits. Early symptoms may include indigestion, stomach discomfort, and nausea, but these can progress to more severe signs like weight loss, vomiting, and difficulty swallowing as the disease advances.
