Stomach Cancer – Symptoms & Causes

Radiation Exposure

Exposing your body to radiation too often or in an extended period would change the cellular structures of body cells. This leads to many forms of cancer in different parts, including the stomach. Some common cases where you might have been exposed to these substances include being in an area that is affected by an atomic bomb, undergoing external beam radiation to treat Hodgkin disease, or having radioisotope radiation to treat thyroid cancer. If you would control the time of exposure, then it is better to do that to reduce the risks. [9]
