Cancer is the result of multiple factors. Any item that caused inflammation can cause cancer. Heredity plays a large role in stomach cancer. You can reduce your risk of cancer by adopting healthy habits: Eat a mostly vegetarian diet, avoid alcohol, tobacco and street drugs, avoid excessive exposure to sun, maintain healthy weight, get HPV vaccine, exercise 30 minutes each day, drink enough water
