Dr. Yevgeny Cheremushkin, an oncologist, revealed the groups most at risk of developing stomach cancer. He says: “Stomach cancer is more common among the elderly, as the immune system weakens with age, and the body’s ability to control many cells declines, and the effects of malnutrition and smoking accumulate. In general, there are many influencing factors.” But he explained that there are many types of cancer that primarily affect younger patients. He says: “There are types of tumors that are primarily linked to genetic characteristics or viral infections, such as tumors that divide and grow rapidly, including lymphomas. These tumors are usually more common among young people.” According to him, the groups most at risk of developing stomach cancer include smokers and people who eat a lot of spicy, salty, and spicy foods, as these eating habits may contribute to chronic inflammation in the stomach lining.
