Dr. Leon Yoder: The risk factors for stomach cancer are having a previous history of ulcer disease. Also the diets that we eat are going to be risk factors. What kind of diet? Rich in red meats, grease, fried foods, and not keeping enough vegetables, fruits in your diets. Being overweight may be a risk factor as well. Smoking is definitely a risk factor. Overindulgence with alcohol is also a risk factor. A family history of having a similar type of cancer will preclude you to having gastric cancer possibly in the future.

Real Patients. Real Stories. Real Hope.

Do these videos feature real cancer patients?

Yes, the videos in this section feature real CTCA survivors with real stories to tell. These are not actors. They are cancer patients who came to CTCA and emerged as survivors. These stories are not scripted. They are personal accounts of people who found hope, and a voice, at CTCA. This is what they have to say, in their own words...

Why are some, not all, cancer types listed?

At CTCA, we treat individuals with a variety of cancer types. However, all of our survivors are not on film. If you don't see a survivor with the cancer type you're looking for, it only means we do not have a video at this time.

Keep in mind, we are continuously adding videos to this section. If you don't see the one you're looking for today, visit us again, or let us know how we can improve.
