Understanding the risk factors for stomach cancer is essential to advancing prevention and improving early detection. In this educational webinar, Dr. Monika Laszkowska explored the factors that influence an individual’s risk of developing gastric cancer, including Helicobacter pylori infection, hereditary cancer syndromes, lifestyle and environmental factors, chronic gastric conditions, and other emerging areas of research.
Drawing on her expertise in gastric cancer prevention and early detection, Dr. Laszkowska discussed current screening strategies, identifies individuals who may benefit from increased surveillance, and highlights evidence-based approaches to reducing risk before cancer develops. Viewers will gain practical knowledge about prevention, risk assessment, and the latest advances aimed at detecting stomach cancer at its earliest—and most treatable—stages.
