Lymphomas
These cancers start in immune system cells called lymphocytes. Lymphomas usually start in other parts of the body, but some can start in the wall of the stomach. The treatment and outlook for these cancers depend on the type of lymphoma and other factors. For more information, see Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.
Most cancers of the stomach (about 90% to 95%) are adenocarcinomas. These cancers develop from the gland cells in the innermost lining of the stomach (the mucosa).
If you are told you have stomach cancer (or gastric cancer), it will almost always be an adenocarcinoma. The information on the following pages that discusses stomach cancer refers to this type of cancer.

The following day, Mora said he hoped that sharing his story will inspire those facing similar health battles to persevere.
Mora concluded by saying: “You always see people post about how life is too short. How you should reach out to those you love no matter where life has taken you. It is the truth. Don’t take your time here, your time with friends, family, for granted. S**t can be over just like that!”
“I want to be able to help those that might be experiencing something like this — a life-altering disease full of questions and doubt — maybe, hopefully. By showing that it’s possible to make it through,” he wrote.
He later added another post thanking people for all the support he had received: “It has been incredibly overwhelming. Receiving all the love and words of encouragement. I am so grateful, It’s been emotional. But overall I think it’s making me stronger.”
Mora married the “Milkshake” singer in 2014. They welcomed their second child last year and also have a five-year-old son together.
Kelis also has a daughter with ex-husband, rapper Nas.
