Stomach cancer 2016
95% of all stomach cancers are adenocarcinomas. The rest are distributed between lymphomas, gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), and other more rare forms.
Adenocarcinomas are classified according to growth and spread patterns of intestinal, diffuse, and mixed types and graded by low-grade and high-grade malignancy. This applies primarily to the intestinal type since the diffuse type is by definition considered highly malignant, because of the missing ability to create node structures.
The stomach consists of the cardia, fundus, corpus, antrum, and pylorus.
