Stomach Cancer? Stumach cancer is a common misspelling of stomach cancer.
Stomach cancer occurs when cancerous cells first develop in the stomach. Also known as gastric cancer, cancer of the stomach is the seventh leading cause of cancer deaths. There are several risk factors that may increase the chance of developing this type of cancer. Some of these risk factors include smoking cigarettes, being male, and having a family history of the disease. In many cases, treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.
