In 2020, an estimated 769,000 people died due to stomach cancer worldwide, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). In most cases, stomach cancers are diagnosed when the disease is in advanced stage. This is because stomach cancers grow very slowly, and symptoms appear late. Initial symptoms of stomach cancer may also be mistaken for other less serious conditions such as acidity.
