Stomach cancers usually occur due to fluctuations in acidity level and may present with vague symptoms of abdominal fullness, weight loss and pain. The actual cause of stomach cancer is not known but has been linked to infection with Helicobacter pylori, pernicious anemia, Menetriere's disease, and nitrogenous preservatives in food. [4]
Other causes include Mallory-Weiss tears, cancer, and angiodysplasia. [2] A number of medications are found to cause upper GI bleeds. [16] NSAIDs or COX-2 inhibitors increase the risk about fourfold. [16] SSRIs, corticosteroids, and anticoagulants may also increase the risk. [16] The risk with dabigatran is 30% greater than that with warfarin. [17]
Some cancer treatments may further increase this risk. [10] Effusions: Cancers may stimulate fluid shifts in the body and lead to extracellular collections of fluid. Breast and lung cancer, for example, often cause pleural effusions, or a buildup of fluid in the lining of the lungs.

Other common symptoms that stomach disease might cause include indigestion or dyspepsia, vomiting, and in chronic disease, digestive problems leading to forms of malnutrition.
