Carbohydrates

 High intake of Dietary Fiber may help to prevent Stomach Cancer.  ^[3]

 Kureha (a Polysaccharide present in Karawatake Mushrooms) may prolong lifespan and duration of remission in Stomach Cancer patients.  ^[4]

 Lentinan may extend the life span of Stomach Cancer patients, inhibits the further development of Stomach Cancer and improves the effectiveness of various Anti-Cancer Pharmaceuticals (including Tegafur, Fluorouracil and Mitomycin C) in the treatment of Stomach Cancer.  ^[5]

 PSP may improve the condition of Stomach Cancer patients.  ^[6]

Carotenoids

 Alpha-Carotene may help to prevent Stomach Cancer. 

 Astaxanthin may help to prevent Stomach Cancer.  ^[7]

 Beta-Carotene may help to prevent Stomach Cancer.  ^[8]

 Lycopene may help to prevent Stomach Cancer.  ^[9]

Digestive Enzymes

 Insufficient production of Hydrochloric Acid (which occurs during Hypochlorhydria or Achlorhydria) may increase the risk of Stomach Cancer.  ^[10] In the absence of Hydrochloric Acid certain carcinogenic substances may be produced from normal food constituents.

Hormones

 Melatonin production may decline in Stomach Cancer patients. 

Immune System Chemicals

 The body's production of Interleukin 2 (IL-2) declines in Stomach Cancer patients. 

Lipids

 Beta-Sitosterol may help to prevent Stomach Cancer.  ^[11]

 Betulinic Acid may inhibit the growth of Stomach Cancer cells.  ^[12]

 Limonene may help to prevent and treat Stomach Cancer.  ^[13]

 Omega-3 Fatty Acids may help to prevent and treat Stomach Cancer:  ^[14]

 Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) may inhibit the growth of Stomach Cancer cells.  ^[15]

Minerals

 Germanium may help to prevent Stomach Cancer.  ^[16]

 Iodine deficiency has been linked to Stomach Cancer.  ^[17]

 Molybdenum may help to prevent Stomach Cancer.  ^[18]

 Selenium intake at optimal levels may help to prevent Stomach Cancer.  ^[19]

 Sodium Bicarbonate may be a viable therapy for Stomach Cancer.

Patented Medicines

 Aspirin (81 mg per day) may help to prevent Stomach Cancer.  ^[20]

 Cimetidine may prolong the survival of Stomach Cancer patients.  ^[21]

 Fluorouracil is commonly utilized in the treatment of Stomach Cancer but also inhibits the growth of normal, healthy cells.

 Mitomycin C is often employed in the treatment of Stomach Cancer.

 Ferulic Acid may help to prevent Stomach Cancer.  ^[22]

Polyphenols

 Apigenin may help to prevent and treat Stomach Cancer.  ^[23]

 Catechin may reduce the risk of Stomach Cancer. 

 Curcumin may help to prevent Stomach Cancer.  ^[24]

 Epigallo-Catechin-Gallate (EGCG) may help to prevent Stomach Cancer and stimulates the apoptosis (programmed cell death) of existing Stomach Cancer cells.  ^[25]

 Genistein may help to prevent Stomach Cancer.  ^[26]

 Nobiletin may help to prevent and treat Stomach Cancer.  ^[27]
