Though anyone can develop this form of cancer, your risk is higher if you have a family history of stomach cancer or have any of the following underlying conditions: an infection of the bacteria Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), certain inherited genetic disorders, pernicious aenemia, a history of stomach surgery, or obesity.<\/p>\n<p>Certain demographic factors also appear to be at play. People over age 55 are at increased risk, as are men, who are twice as likely to develop stomach cancer compared to women.
