Metastatic gastric cancer

Metastatic gastric cancer is an advanced, stage IV malignancy arising from the epithelial lining of the stomach—predominantly classified as gastric adenocarcinoma—that has disseminated beyond locoregional lymph nodes and tissues Defining pathophysiologic features include secondary neoplastic colonization of distant sites—frequently involving the peritoneum, liver, lungs, distant lymph nodes, and ovaries—which clinically manifests with epigastric pain, early satiety, progressive cachexia, gastroi...

It affects the digestive system, most commonly in older adults, and spreads via lymphatic channels, the bloodstream, or direct transcoelomic shedding
