Stomach cancer begins when cancer cells form in the inner lining of the stomach. The cells can grow and become cancerous tumors. Also called gastric cancer, the disease can grow slowly through many years, like in Velasco’s case.

Doctors don’t know what makes cancer cells grow  in the stomach, but people often catch infections with common bacteria, which cause ulcers. Gastritis, anemia, and polyps can also increase your chances of getting cancer.
