Overview

Many people brush off early signs as simple acidity, indigestion, bloating, or stomach discomfort, but what feels “normal” may actually be the body’s first warning signal.

In this episode, we break down why stomach cancer stays silent, who is most at risk, and how to identify subtle symptoms before it’s too late.

To guide us, we are joined by Dr Abhishek Kakroo (MD, DM – Medical Oncology), a highly experienced oncologist with expertise in adult and pediatric oncology, haematology, and stem cell transplant services.

In this conversation, we discuss:

✔️ Common symptoms of stomach cancer

✔️ Early signs that mimic acidity or indigestion

✔️ Major risk factors you should know

✔️ Why stomach cancer often stays silent

✔️ Lifestyle habits that may increase your risk

✔️ One key advice for early detection

Early awareness saves lives — don’t ignore small changes your body is trying to tell you.
