?What are the common risk factors associated with the development of gastric carcinoma

Common risk factors for gastric carcinoma include Helicobacter pylori infection, chronic gastritis, tobacco smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, a diet high in salted, smoked, or pickled foods, family history of gastric cancer, and certain genetic predispositions such as hereditary diffuse gastric cancer syndrome.

?How is gastric carcinoma diagnosed, and what are the key diagnostic modalities used

Gastric carcinoma is diagnosed through various modalities including upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with biopsy, imaging studies such as computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET) scan. Additionally, blood tests may be conducted to assess tumor markers like carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9).
