What is stomach cancer?

The stomach is a sack-like organ located just under the Diaphragm (Muscle under the Lungs).

Stomach Cancer, also called Gastric Cancer, is the name for cancer that begins in the stomach, generally the Stomach Lining.

This type of cancer can eventually spread to lymph nodes and organs such as the Liver, Pancreas, Colon, Lungs and Ovaries.

People occasionally confuse the stomach organ with the abdominal area, saying they have a "Stomach Ache" when really the pain could be occurring in the appendix, Small Intestine, Colon (Large Intestine) or Gall Bladder, along with the actual stomach.

The stomach can be divided into five sections, and the location of the cancer in the stomach can affect things like symptoms, Prognosis and treatment options.

What causes hiccups?

Most cases are of short duration and seem to be without obvious cause.

Sometimes it can be caused by irritation of the Diaphragm or the phrenic nerves.

Pleurisy, Pneumonia, Pancreatitis, Alcoholism, Hepatitis, or some disorders of the stomach or esophagus can sometimes cause this.

They can indicate an Imbalance in your system.

When you have an Imbalance, you are susceptible to various diseases which can settle in weak areas of your body.

You can check to see if there is an Imbalance in your system.
