In this episode of GI101, host Dr. Christina G. Gonzales, DMSc, MPAS, PA-C, reviews Gastric Adenocarcinoma, the most common type of stomach cancer worldwide. You’ll learn about key risk factors—including Helicobacter pylori infection, smoking, chronic gastritis, and certain dietary exposures—as well as regional differences in incidence. We’ll cover hallmark presentations like unexplained weight loss, early satiety, and iron deficiency anemia, plus paraneoplastic signs such as Virchow node and Sister Mary Joseph nodule. Diagnostic evaluation, staging, and management strategies—including surgery, chemotherapy, and palliative care—are also highlighted.
