What type of cancer did Lee Joo-Sil have?

What is stomach cancer?
Stomach cancer occurs when cells in the inner lining of the organ grow uncontrollably, forming a mass or ulcer. This type of cancer, also known as gastric cancer, has a high mortality rate. Therefore, when a gastric ulcer is detected, it is essential to perform a biopsy to determine whether it has undergone malignant transformation. The five-year survival rate for this cancer is 20-30%.
What are the symptoms of stomach cancer?
In the early stages, this type of cancer does not show symptoms and is not detected until it is advanced. Common symptoms include the following:
- Loss of appetite
- Weight loss
- Abdominal pain
- Discomfort in the abdomen
- Feeling of fullness after eating
- Heartburn or indigestion
- Nausea
- Vomiting with or without blood
- Abdominal bloating
- Blood in stool
