Today we will be talking about Stomach cancer.
The stomach is a vital organ in our digestive tract. It is located in our upper abdomen and connects the esophagus with the small intestine. It functions as a reservoir to temporarily hold our meals and at the same time aids in the digestion of our food.
Gastric cancer occurs when the cells in the stomach wall undergo uncontrolled division to produce a malignant tumor.
Stomach cancer is the 7th most common cancer in men and the 9th most common cancer in women in our local population.
Each year, Stomach cancer takes more than 300 lives in Singapore.
If detected early, it is potentially curable - so please continue to watch this video to find out more about the signs and symptoms of gastric cancer and who are at risk of getting it.
Please click on the subscribe button if you are new to our channel.
The Risk factors of gastric cancer are
- Infection with Helicobacter Pylori bacteria. This is a bacteria that I have previously talked about in another video on my channel. Please click on the link on your top right for more information on h.pylori
- Long term stomach inflammation
- smoking
- family history of gastric cancer
- dietary factors: diet high in salt, smoked and preserved foods, and a diet low in fruits and vegetables
As with most cancer, early stomach cancers tend to be silent.
However if you do suffer from these symptoms, then please seek consultation with your family doctor or specialist.
- upper abdominal pain
- bloatedness or indigestion after meals
- loss of appetite and loss of weight
- persistent nausea and vomiting
- persistent heartburn symptoms
- black tarry stools
Recently, There have been some exciting developments in the field of gastric cancer screening coming from Singapore called gastroclear.
Gastroclear is a blood test that actually detects abnormal levels of microRNA released from Gastric cancer cells.
It has been said to be able to detect up to 87% of all gastric cancer and is being evaluated currently to be rolled out for population-wide screening in the primary care scene.
I’m keeping my eyes on this development. Really exciting stuff.
So How can you prevent stomach cancer?
It's all about the lifestyle, isn’t it?
If you’ve watched enough of my videos, you will have realized already that many illnesses and diseases can be treated with lifestyle changes.
- stop smoking
- avoid processed food ( I have shared more in my previous video on why you should not take processed food )
- reduce salt intake
- increase the intake of fresh fruits and vegetables in your meals
- maintaining a healthy weight by staying physically active
( again click on the top right of your screen now to learn about the ways to fight cancer the natural way )
If your doctor suspects that you may be suffering from gastric cancer, then we will refer you for diagnostic testings like
- gastric endoscopy
- barium meal X-rays.
Adopt a healthy lifestyle to keep gastric cancer away from you.
Take note of the symptoms and do seek medical consultation when you develop symptoms suggestive of gastric cancer.
The last thing you want to do is to ignore your symptoms.
Early detection ensures early diagnosis, and often that leads to a better outcomes.

This is the first video on this topic where everything was clear, everything made sense and he got straight to the point! Very well done a great doctor
Hello, Today I had my endoscopy and it showed (One submucosal papule nodule in my stomach) they did a biopsy. Just keeping you updated.
Great! One nodule down!
Do you know what’s next? Is this a definite sign of stomach cancer?
Not at all. Most nodules are benign.
In any case let’s wait for the biopsy. Don’t worry.
@@SGDrWellness Thank you! God bless you.
@@SGDrWellness Hello! My biopsy came back normal and H pylori was not detected! Thank you so much for your help and doing these videos! This was not fun but I learned a lot. I’m extremely interested in gut health now and I want to help others in some way. God definitely uses everything for our good. Still having pain but I know my body is healing...
Fantastic information on gastric cancer Dr Chen! Thank you!
last year i got an ulcer and because of that, it was hard for me to eat and i lost a lot of weight. once it went away, i was okay for a while. recently, i’ve been having bad cramps, nausea on a regular basis, loss of appetite, fatigue, and i get full very easily now. i’m not sure what to do
I think the obvious thing to do is GO SEE A DOCTOR. They can do an endoscopy.
@@deirdrekiely6187 i’ve been better lately. but the reason i gave up on going to the doctor is bc when i had an ulcer, they refused to do any tests on me and instead told me to take nexium which made my ulcer so much worse. this went on for 5 months and they wouldn’t do anything about it. IM the one that figured out i had an ulcer just by research. i told the doctor to give me this specific medicine- can’t remember what it’s called but it’s for ulcers. once i i took it when for a couple weeks, i was fine. i went back to the doctor around the time i made this comment to get a scan. they said everything looked fine and said i probably just have severe IBS (which i already knew). but the scan was around $700 which is crazyyy so now im scared to go to the doctor if i ever have these issues again bc it’s just too expensive 😭 id rather suffer
What did this end up being ?
Heyy.... Please try Ayurvedic treatment!!
Trust me you will be fine❤
Why doesn't anyone ever give updates, it looks bad 😐
I have stomach issues and tested positive for h pylori. Waiting for results to see if the h pylori is clear and to see what the endoscopy shows 😕
Hey! Thanks for sharing!
It’s such a common problem isn’t it?
Eradication is the first step to better Gut health

Sounds like an obstruction due to colon cancer. My mother died from this
Drink acv with water helps acid eat small meals fasting is good
I'm currently under care of excellent GI doctor for year long stomach pain and other symptoms you list. I am going thru second round of tests. Feel bad when I try to eat and get sick. hope its just an ulcer.
What happened? Are u ok now?
Please reply 🙏
great! do you think dairy is bad for constipation I have almost daily 20% constipation meaning not all comes out and may be I have some colon issues...
How many months it took erosive gastritis to cure after h plyrio eradicate?
hello doc, I hope you will notice me. i have a sudden sharp pain above my belly button sometimes the first pain that i felt above the belly button was last year November 2021 after my 1st dose of Pfizer covid vaccine. and sometimes ,there's also a sudden pain that comes and goes in the right side of my abdomen. what could it be doc? i am planning to get an endoscopy when i have enough money for it. but i hope for the meantime, you could share your knowledge about what I'm experiencing.
If the pain on your right side under your rib cage it could be your gallbladder
I doctor I am having pain in my stomach now on then if I take long to eat and sometime when I eat it take a while then it stop or it contuine hurt when I eat then long after it stop I do Echco test and a heart test that come in like a upset sound and that test show that I have a mild leak valve and the echo come back good could U reply to me what is the cause of the pain I use to take long to eat on that was what happen
I tested positive on h pylori and I freaked out ☹️ I’m taking medications but ever since I took them my stomach started to hurt I spoke to my doctor he said it’s normal ?
Yeah unfortunately some of the antibiotics used for triple or quadruple therapy can cause gastrointestinal symptoms.
What are you doing
How are you doing
Hi doc. I just finished on my triple treatment for h pylori, how long do i have to wait to get another breath test to see if i succesfully eradicated it? Thanks!
You can test breath test again about 2 months after treatment
My doctor said i can do it again in 2 weeks time? Now im confused
@@kristiancaesers9219 then why did you ask if your dr already gave you a time frame?
@@SGDrWellness If the Helicobacter pylori has been treated is this still considered a risk factor? Thank you!
Will a x-ray reveal stomach cancer.?
Hi po doc , im 17 years old and may nakakapa po akong matigas sa right side ng tiyan ko po ano po kaya iyon?
I was recently diagnosed with chronic gastritis with focal intestinal metaplasia, due to h pylori and nasaids, in 2019 H Plyroi was eradicated and tests were done in 2021 to check for h Plyroi came back negative, however now there’s new diagnosis, Intestinal Metaplasia with Chronic Gastritis, will this definitely lead or develops into gastric cancer, my doctor only prescribed acid blockers, can you elaborate on the severity of this diagnosis?
Hey there. Chronic gastritis means long term inflammation of your stomach wall lining .
Intestinal metaplasia means that the cells on your stomach wall lining are changing to more resembling the cells of your intestine due to the inflammation.
There is a higher risk of cancerous change in your stomach in the long run.
So acid blocker is a treatment for this problem
@@SGDrWellness
Such quick response, Thank you for explaining in details what this diagnosis meant, my doctor blew me off with my questions and only said that I needed Acid blockers. Thank You!
Consider looking for a holistic doctor or a medical herbalist. Acid blockers will bring relief short term & destroy your health in the long term
@@RK-su4hscan you explain, what other solutions do we have instead of acid blickers?
@@davidflorez1196 sucralfate that will address any ulcers and help heal the esophagus
Hello 👋 Would a abdominal ultrasound show a stomach tumor? What about the other abdominal organs like liver, large intestine, small intestine etc… thank you.
Abdominal ultrasound is not the best way to diagnose stomach tumor. An endoscope is the investigation of choice.
Different organs require different modes of imaging.
Hi doc i experienced burping for 4 months now my doctor prescribed me ppi meds almost all the zol medication i tried already but still im burping too much
may be your food isn't digesting by stomach acid. Your stomach acid production is too low and your remaining food is digesting by fermentation and bacteria. The gas from fermentation is the frequently burping. This means your food is rotting in there to dissolve instead of breaking down from stomach acid. If this is true sometimes you might also feel nausea because of the way of this process. This might be, I'm not a doctor. Think this over and do more research and ask more questions before taking any action yourself
@@allcc2124I been belching for 9 months now. Sometimes it gets stuck and I have to force a burp to relief it
Did you find out what the problem was??
Dr may I know if prolong use of milk kefir cause stomach cancer or increased the chance of developing it? Thanks
Not that I know of
@@SGDrWellness okie. Cause there are a lot of mixed reviews and opinions regarding this topic.
Yes. A lot of reviews and opinions from the public.
Can stomach ulcer can cause cancer??
Did you ever found out about it?
Hey Dr -thanks for the video. I have been having a dull ache/pain in my stomach area going on 3 days now. I do not have any of the other symptoms mentioned above. If this was Cancer - would I have more than just the one symptom?
Not necessarily.
A dull ache sometimes may be the only symptom
Do you have stomach cancer?
I had hplori do you think i should get screened for it
yes they should have automatically did that
Would a CT scan show gastric cancer?
What is stomach debris?
I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy in September. I was having extreme stomach pain into my back. Dr said I have Barretts in my esophagus. The pain went away for awhile. Now it’s back and worse than ever. I have to put the heating pad on my stomach. I’m scared I have cancer that they haven’t found. I’m in so much pain

How are you now? I am feeling the same thing.
could be an ulcer.....get to the GI Dr they prescribed Sucralfate and it helped me
@@jhartmac100
Good to know because I'm taking that chalky crap too. The doctor doesn't even know if I even have an ulcer. I have Gerd 😐
I have diahorea every day for the ladt 7 years. The last 6 months has been very bad. My stomach is always burning, I keep burping, I have acid reflux, when i wake up i need to immediately go to the toilet and doo watery poo, after using the toilet i will need to use it again immediately after.
How are you doing now? Have you got any diagnosis from an md? Does your burning stomach last all day?
I have extremely bad acid reflux and gas. No other symptoms I'm hoping it's not HP or cancer I'm so paranoid.
Well it’s good to go see ur doctor to get it checked
Millions of people have just bad acid reflux doesn't mean it's cancer
Kia howa ab kaisai ho?😭😭
How are u now?😭😭
Have some of this only belly inflating after eating sometimes hurts to
Probably a dumb question but Im not a science person at all, if your parents had colon cancer are you at higher risk of only having colon cancer or other organs too?
Yes. Is a good question.
If ur parents have colon cancer then ur chance is higher
@@SGDrWellness Thank you for the response
YES......
What if the bx shows intestinal metaplasia in the antrum? Is this considered incomplete/complete IM? thanks in advance :)
Hey! Thanks for the question! I think the answer should be in ur biopsy report. Please check back with ur surgeon or gastroenterologist who did the scope. He would be the best person to advise u
@@SGDrWellness I see, thank you so much for the prompt reply! In your opinion, do you think such cases would require regular endoscopic surveillance to detect early signs of stomach cancer? (Btw, thanks for all the great videos you've put up! Really informative yet concise!)
@@xanderabran423 yes it does they should have told you that, every year or every 3 years depending, they have to make sure those cells are not transforming

Hi this is Uma, i had severe stomach pain and was done endoscopy same was given for biopsy too. I was tested positive for H.Pylori with associated gastritis. Will this lead to cancer?
Hi uma.
Untreated H pylori infection in the long term may cause gastric cancer.
But once treated and eradicated - the risk of gastric cancer due to H.Pylori should be gone
I've been wondering if I've had this. I get full off of small meals, throw up while going to the bathroom, and am frequently nauseous.
Hey are you ok now?
I’m showing all the early signs and I’m 22
Get a check up please
@@SGDrWellness I did last week and I have h pylori
Get well soon James
@@URLcheatz
I h pylori and was sick for a month. Now five years later… I am sick again nausea,vomiting, fullness midway through meal… so I think I need to go get checked..
My father 65years old cancer treatment running now in TAMILNADU (Nero endocrine cancer) doctor side monthly target injection only Octreotied 30 mg 6 months once PET SCAN 6 months once
Complete blood count test should be able to detect Cancer too, Right?
In my opinion - it’s not the screening test for cancer.
If blood count is low- it indicates possibly blood loss and the need to search for possible source of blood loss.

Can an MRI be used for diagnosis instead of an endoscope?
No
@@kristymeyers8415 is that because a biopsy must be taken?
@@alohablue2907 Yes, biopsy can tell exactly what is going on.
@@alohablue2907 not only biopsy actually, muscle walls of the stomach r periodically reduced, this poses a differentiation problems between muscle contraction and wall thickening, furthermore, to estimate wall thickness we should straighten wall, also MRI frame rate much lower than CT scan which makes MRI poorly sensitive for the walls of the hollow organs, alternative way to check it out is fluoroscopy with double contrast, but endoscopy's still gold standard for diagnosis of cancers (especially early cancer), but make sure endoscope has NBI function and better to do it under sedation
@@user-ts4fi8he8m
Get a endoscopy and colon done at the same time
30% of people respond to mega dose Vit C, however you need to check your tolerance, don't start out with it high, and I mean 2000mg a day, start low and make sure you can tolerate it. Go to a specialist as well, thats the primary thing. You also may have food allergies which are basically auto immune issues
I have had issues with filling full and pain in the stomach to constipation. I got to the hospital and had ct scan, x-ray, ultra sound, and blood work. They said that they didn't find anything unusual. What do I do to make for sure i dont have stomach or colon cancer

I was diagnosed with H pylori 8 months ago. Got the triple treatment with antibiotics + proton inhibitor.
Then retook a breath test and tested negative. I still have the symptoms of shortness of breath. The indigestion got better because im doing keto diet, lots of green vegetables. Garlic, mastic gum, probiotics
Im getting an endoscopy soon.
I do exercise and eat healthy.
Does gastroc cancer always appear to people who get H pylori?
My doctor said no cancer was detected in my blood biopsy but she still wants to me to do the endoscopy.
H pylori infection does increase the chance of gastric cancer .
I don’t quite understand what u mean by blood biopsy for cancer?
But yes - endoscopy is the best way of detecting gastric cancer
@@SGDrWellness thank you for reply.
My Dr. Took some blood samples from me(to look for anemia in case there is internal bleeding) she told me my blood test was normal. A second breath test and no H pylori was detected.
But i still feel some discomfort on my esophagus as if it "closes up" when i speak. I never vomit during the H pylori infection or passed any blood in stools.
I might ask her for a stool test(just in case) on top of the Endoscopy.
What other tests would you suggest?
Thank you so much Dr
Hey I’m sure ur doctor is more than qualified to advise!
But if u are doing endoscopy , then I guess stool test is not required ?
Hi Xavier, did you get any diagnosis?
@@Leon-pn6rb yup.
I already took 4 different H pylori tests and they all came back negative.

Hi ive been experiencing stomach pain in upper abdomin was convinced it was the worst had a cbc and was told all normal even did urine test and was told perfect liver ive lost some weight but dont know over how long and have been extremely worried everyday for like 5 month im on a waiting list for an endoscopy would you say i need to be concerned?
It is a little worrying if it’s 5 months already
Would you say sinister?
Nope I wouldn’t know
Thank you doc im only 37 and thought the worst ive had 4 gp check my blood results and all happy i havent lost weight in a month so i think that has to be a good sign and they think it could be gastritis i dont pass blood or vomit
Question, can stomach cancer be detected in regular blood tests
So that’s the new test I mentioned about called Gastro clear. It’s available in Singapore
I have a lump inside my stomach on left side. Its pain whenever it get pressed. And im always barfing even just waking up in the morning i barf a lot.
Sir can adult get stomach cancer and what are the causes
Hey yes of course adult can get stomach cancer

Can I get stomach cancer at 19 if I don't have family history of this cancer
At this age is not common. But it’s not impossible.
Do get it checked please
I have only little stomach pain and burping no vomiting and can eat food can it be stomach cancer
Wow everybody on this post thinks they have cancer because they have one or two symptoms 🤷🏻♂️
Same for me i have only 3 symptoms 😂
Leave all the tests which are toxic. Staying safe as this doctor advocates means staying away from doctors, as he well knows. There are no such things as infectious diseases and the use of antibiotics is an atrocity.
He's talking about cancer, not infectious disease.
