January 17, 2023 – Study: Stomach Cancer Increases Among Younger Americans

The rate of stomach cancer is increasing among Americans under 50, particularly women, according to a study by the National Cancer Institute. Researchers tracked the incidence of lower stomach cancer in the United States. Mercy Medical Center surgical oncologist Dr. Vadim Gushchin said the incidence of gastric cancer is very low in the U.S. and found the study results a bit surprising. The study also found women are affected more by autoimmune diseases, which can also lead to cancer.
