What are the causes of gastric cancer

summary

I just moved to an uncle next door yesterday. I heard from my classmates that the uncle had stomach cancer. I told him not to be too close to him to avoid being infected. Seeing that he was not too old, how did he get this disease? Now I'm going to popularize the cause of stomach cancer.

What are the causes of gastric cancer

First, medical research shows that the causes of gastric cancer are related to the following factors: diet structure and behavior, environmental factors, genetic factors and other diseases of the stomach. These factors can act alone or synergistically, leading to the occurrence of gastric cancer. Bad diet structure and behavior: Residents in high incidence area of gastric cancer prefer smoked dried meat, salted fish or crab sauce.

Second: high salt pickled food can promote the occurrence and development of gastric cancer. There are many carcinogens polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in smoked food. The representative of PAHs is 3,4 benzopyrene. 3,4 benzopyrene can cause gastric cancer. The lack of fresh vegetables, fruits and milk in the diet has been confirmed by many studies, which is a significant feature of patients with gastric cancer or people in high incidence areas of gastric cancer.

Third: fresh vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, vitamin C and vitamin E can inhibit the synthesis of nitrosamine, a carcinogen in the stomach, and vitamin A can prevent epithelial cancer. Fresh milk is rich in vitamin A and protein colloid, which can protect gastric mucosa from carcinogens. Therefore, the lack of fresh vegetables, fruits and milk is a risk factor for gastric cancer.

matters needing attention

In addition to the above reasons, gastric cancer may also be caused by the addition of talcum powder in the diet, because some places like to add a small amount of talcum powder in porridge, which tastes much better, but the result is that it is easy to cause gastric cancer, so you should be careful when eating out.
