Preview- You can notice, diffuse gastric cancer is a specific type of that tends to affect much of the stomach rather than staying in one area of the stomach. Diffuse, widely spread; not localized or confined.
- It is obvious that, in Japan, where the risk of gastric cancer is very high, mass screening programs have been successful in detecting disease in the early stages. Screening, checking for disease when there are no symptoms. Since screening may find diseases at an early stage, there may be a better chance of curing the disease. Examples of cancer screening tests are the mammogram (breast (i.e., mamma, or teat)), colonoscopy (i.e., coloscopy) (colon), and the Pap test (i.e., papanicolaou smear test) and HPV test (cervix (i.e., neck, or cervix of uterus)). Screening can also include checking for a person`s risk of developing an inherited disease by doing a genetic test. Mass is in medicine, a lump in the body. It may be caused by the abnormal growth of cells, a cyst, hormonal changes, or an immune reaction. A mass may be benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer).
- It`s possible to presume that, the incidence of this form of gastric malignant neoplastic disease is extremely high in Japan, Chile, and Iceland. Incidence is the number of new cases of a disease diagnosed each year. Malignant, cancerous. Malignant cells can invade and destroy nearby tissue and spread to other parts of the body.
