Cancer is a term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues. Cancer cells can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems. There are several main types of cancer. Carcinoma is a cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs. Sarcoma is a cancer that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue. Leukemia is a cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow, and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood. Lymphoma and multiple myeloma are cancers that begin in the cells of the immune system. Central nervous system cancers are cancers that begin in the tissues of the brain and spinal cord. Also called malignancy.
Preview- It appears that, furthermore, gastric adenocarcinomas are further subclassified according to their gross appearance (polypoid, fungating, ulcerated, or infiltrative); their histologic features (intestinal or diffuse); and their location within the stomach (cardia, corpus, or antrum). A rare subtype of stomach cancer is scirrhous carcinoma, or linitus plastica, a poorly differentiated mixture of mucin-producing carcinoma cells that infiltrates the muscle wall and turns the stomach tissue rigid and leatherlike, limiting its distensibility and preventing normal digestion. Intestinal, having to do with the intestines. Tissue is a group or layer of cells that work together to perform a specific function. Diffuse, widely spread; not localized or confined. Stomach cancer, cancer that forms in tissues lining the stomach. Also called gastric cancer. Gastric, having to do with the stomach. Corpus is the body of the uterus. Digestion is the process of breaking down food into substances the body can use for energy, tissue growth, and repair. Stomach is an organ that is part of the digestive system. The stomach helps digest food by mixing it with digestive juices and churning it into a thin liquid.
- One can view, stomach cancers are classified according to their tissue type. Overwhelmingly, the most common type of stomach cancers are gastric adenocarcinomas, which arise from the glandular tissue lining the stomach. Occurring much more rarely are gastric lymphomas (also referred to as MALTomas, or mucosal associated lymphoid tissue tumors), carcinoids, and sarcomas. Lymphoid, referring to lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. Also refers to tissue in which lymphocytes develop.
- It seems to be, helicobacter pylori Peptic ulcers are conduced by corrosion of certain spots of the mucosal lining of the duodenal lining, by the hydrochloric acid present in the digestive juices of the stomach. Helicobacter pylori is a type of bacterium that causes inflammation and ulcers in the stomach or small intestine. People with Helicobacter pylori infections may be more likely to develop cancer in the stomach, including MALT (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue) lymphoma. Also called H. pylori. Acid is a chemical that gives off hydrogen ions in water and forms salts by combining with certain metals. Acids have a sour taste and turn certain dyes red. Some acids made by the body, such as gastric acid, can help organs work the way they should. An example of an acid is hydrochloric acid. Acidity is measured on a scale called the pH scale. On this scale, a value of 7 is neutral, and a pH value of less than 7 to 0 shows increasing acidity.
