Over 15 Million May Face Gastric Cancer Born Between 2008 to 2017 Global Study Warns | 1.56 crore people born between 2008 and 2017 are at risk of gastric cancer

New Study on Gastric Cancer: Research on cancer comes from time to time. Now a study has made millions of people sleepy. In this, scientists have claimed that more than 1.56 crore people born between 2008 and 2017 are at risk of getting gastric cancer in future. Most of these cases will be in Asian countries. According to research, about 16.5 lakh people born in this period in India can be vulnerable to gastric cancer at some time in life. However, if measures are taken to avoid this, then gastric cancer can be avoided.

According to ET’s report The new study states that 76% of stomach cancer cases are caused by bacteria called Helicobacter Pylori. It is a normal bacteria, which remains in the stomach, but when it remains for a long time it causes infection. Later it can cause cancer. The good thing is that this bacteria can be prevented from treatment. According to global data, about 60% of the 1.56 crore people who are at risk of gastric cancer will be in Asia only. There is a possibility of 65 lakh new cases in India and China itself. This is a serious sign that we should change our health policies.

According to healthline report Gastric cancer is also called stomach cancer. It is a fatal cancer occurring in the cells of the interiors of the stomach. It usually develops slowly and does not show its symptoms in the beginning. Symptoms like loss of appetite, stomach irritation, indigestion or sudden weight loss, start appearing later. The main cause of this cancer is bacteria called Helicobacter Pylori. Although smoking, high salt diet, alcohol intake, genetic cause and weak immune system are also its risk factors. In case of timely identification and treatment, this cancer can also spread to other parts of the body, so early examination and prevention is very important.

The new research also says that if there is no change in the current situation, then the rate of deaths and the number of cases will start increasing again in the coming years. Especially in the younger generation, the increase in cases of cancer and the elderly population can increase this danger further. Research scientists recommended that it is necessary to pay attention to large -scale screening and treatment of helicobacter pylori to prevent gastric cancer. If these measures are implemented seriously, then it is estimated that cases of gastric cancer can be reduced by up to 75%.
