Gastric Carcinoma
Gastric cancer is the fourth most common malignant disease worldwide. The frequency varies greatly among different countries and regions. The number of newly diagnosed cases in the USA and Western Europe is generally lower than in Asia, Eastern Europe, and developing countries. Nutrition plays a major role in the formation of gastric cancer. The occurrence of helicobacter pylori bacteria in the stomach is thought to be another risk factor.

Malignant Ascites
Ascites (also called abdominal dropsy) refers to the accumulation of large quantities of fluid in the abdominal cavity, which is caused by an imbalance between the inflow and drainage of fluids via the lymphatic system. In about one in ten patients suffering from ascites, the cause is cancer. Cancer cells infiltrating the abdominal cavity can disrupt the balance of fluid – this condition is called malignant ascites.

Seven to ten percent of all women develop this disease during their life. More than one-third of the women affected are younger than 60 years old at the time of initial diagnosis. In the Western hemisphere, breast cancer is the most frequent cause of death in women ages 30 to 60.
