Welcome to No Stomach For Cancer
We know that if you are here, it is very likely that you or someone close to you is impacted by gastric cancer. If so, you are in the right place. We know personally what that means. We were once looking for a place where we would discover critical information about the choices we were facing and the implications of those choices. We needed to know we were not alone in this fight.
No Stomach For Cancer and this website were established to create that source and community. We help people around the world connect, with participation on this site from individuals and families in more than 100 countries. We work tirelessly to make the site as useful as we can. Welcome – you are not alone.
Stomach Cancer: Risks and Prevention
Stomach cancers are the FOURTH most common cancer types worldwide, and the SECOND leading causes of cancer death in the world. Learn more about risks and prevention, including hereditary risks, and share what you learn with others. It could become the knowledge that saves the life of someone you know. Perhaps even your own.
Stomach Cancer Awareness Month®
No Stomach For Cancer is actively involved in raising awareness and providing information about stomach cancer. In 2010 we successfully championed the first ever senate resolution designating November as Stomach Cancer Awareness Month®. Stomach cancer organizations worldwide have come to recognize November, a month known for the pleasure of eating, as the ideal month to raise awareness about this deadly disease. The second leading cause of cancer death worldwide, almost one million people are diagnosed each year, and approximately 700,000 will die.
Stomach Cancer Awareness Month® may be in November, but it’s never too early to begin planning an event to raise awareness!
