Stomach cancer refers to an unrestrained growth of abnormal tissues. A malignancy of the stomach lining also occurs when a person suffers from stomach cancer. One of the common causes of this type of malignancy is the infection that is caused by the bacteria that is known as helicobacter pylori. The tumors are known as adenocarcinoma, which is a very common kind of cancer of the stomach. This article discusses each major type of stomach cancer: 1. Adenocarcinoma Adenocarcinoma is a cancer that develops from the tissues that line the epithelial layer of the skin or the internal organs. There are no initial symptoms or signs of stomach cancer, which can help in diagnosis. Therefore, this fatal condition gets diagnosed at a later stage. There are many types of stomach cancers, out of which around 90-95 percent are adenocarcinomas. Such cancers develop from secretory cells that are present in the lining of the stomach that produces mucus as well as remaining fluids. Such a layer is known as mucosa. There are many risk factors for such a type of malignancy, with the main ones being smoking, pernicious anemia, polyps, inflammation, family history, and diet. This type of cancer mostly occurs in men who are above the age of forty.

Thyroid cancer occurs as a result of the formation of malignant cancer cells in the tissues of the thyroid gland. Treatment would depend on the type of thyroid cancer present. Ideally, surgery is often a first line cancer treatment, yet it all depends on the nature of tumor formation, and how much it has spread (or metastasized). The specific type of thyroid cancer will first be confirmed through a series of tests and procedures, conducted by a doctor. These diagnostic tests could include physical examination and patient’s history, laryngoscopy, hormone tests, blood chemistry studies, ultrasound, CT scan, surgical biopsy, and fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the thyroid. Treatment of the various types of thyroid cancer are as follows: 1. Treating papillary thyroid cancer One of the types of thyroid cancer is papillary, which is ideally treated with removal of the thyroid gland. However, in recent times, ultrasound is being effectively used to monitor micropapillary cancers so as to avoid immediate surgery. Also, in this type of thyroid cancer, the cancerous side of the thyroid gland may be removed. This type of thyroid cancer might spread to the lymph nodes, in which case removal is the only solution. Central compartment neck dissection is also used to remove the lymph nodes along with the thyroid.
