Gastric carcinoma in pregnancy is rare, often diagnosed late due to overlapping symptoms. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges and poor prognosis associated with advanced-stage stomach cancer during gestation.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Obstetrics & Gynecology
Background:
- Gastric carcinoma during pregnancy is exceptionally rare, affecting 0.025%–0.1% of pregnancies.
- Symptoms like nausea and abdominal discomfort often delay diagnosis until advanced stages.

Gastritis III: Clinical Manifestations and Management
Clinical manifestations of acute gastritis
The patient with acute gastritis may have a rapid onset of symptoms, such as epigastric pain or discomfort, dyspepsia, anorexia, hiccups, or nausea and vomiting, which can last from a few hours to a few days. Erosive or hemorrhagic gastritis may cause bleeding, which may manifest as blood in vomit or as...

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
