Causes of gastric cancer What are the risk factors?
The mechanism of gastric cancer has not yet been fully elucidated. It may be caused by a combination of factors, such as genetics, disease status, dietary habits and other factors.
Risk factors for gastric cancer include:
▶Age: The incidence of gastric cancer among people over 45 years old in my country has increased significantly, and the mortality rate also increases with age.
▶Gender: The incidence and mortality rate of gastric cancer in men are higher than that in women.
▶Lifestyle and eating habits: High-salt diet, smoking, drinking, excessive intake of smoked food, and low intake of fruits and vegetables.
▶Precancerous lesions: such as intraepithelial neoplasia, etc.
▶Suffers from the following diseases: hp infection, chronic atrophic gastritis, pernicious anemia, gastric polyps, and familial adenomatous polyposis.
▶Has a history of stomach surgery.
▶Familial gastric cancer: The incidence of gastric cancer clusters in families is usually caused by the common living environment, eating habits or accidental factors, and genetic factors also play an important role.

According to my country's national conditions and the epidemiology of gastric cancer, those who meet any of the following items 1 and 2 to 6 should be classified as high-risk groups for gastric cancer. It is recommended that they be targeted for gastroscopy screening:
2, People in areas with a high incidence of gastric cancer: Such as the northwest (Qinghai, Ningxia, Gansu), the northeast (Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang) and the southeastern coastal areas of Jiangsu, Shanghai, Fujian, Zhejiang, etc.;
3, Helicobacter pylori infection
4, "Old stomach disease": had suffered from chronic atrophic gastritis, gastric ulcer, gastric polyps, post-surgery residual stomach, hypertrophic gastritis, pernicious anemia and other gastric pre-cancerous diseases;
5, family history: first-degree relatives of gastric cancer patients;
6, had long-term high Those with bad eating habits such as salt, pickled diet, smoking, heavy drinking, etc.
