November is a month known for the pleasure of eating and as such is the ideal month to raise awareness about gastric cancer.
There is a great deal of focus on food, nourishment, and family during the holidays. It can be challenging for people dealing with stomach cancer, especially for those living without a stomach.
The goals of stomach cancer awareness are to:
Raise awareness and support efforts to educate people about stomach cancer, including risk factors, prevention, and early detection
Recognize the need for additional funding and research into early diagnosis and treatment for stomach cancer
