...that there is a higher risk factor for adenocarcinoma (cancer) in the stomach,if part of your stomach is removed for any reason?


i just read this and it scared me.


Stomach (Gastric) Cancer | Health | Patient UK
go to (What causes.....)



btw.
it seems this information is well known, (google)
why isn't this written in every pro vs con list?

still pre-op

New here, hi. I'm interested in this discussion. Gastric cancer is especially nasty (low survival rate). A confounding factor is that different parts of the stomach seem to be removed in ulcer gastrectomies. Anybody find any data of the relative risks of obesity, heliobacter, etc? My mom died of cancer (not gastric) so it freaks me out. Any info appreciated.
