# Gastric Cancer

Curcumin's anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects make it especially relevant to gastric cancer biology.

### Overview

The gastric cancer relevance centres on chronic inflammation, *H. pylori*, and early carcinogenic signalling.

### Key findings

* Curcumin shows activity against *H. pylori*, which is directly relevant to gastric carcinogenesis
* Anti-inflammatory signalling may help counter inflammation-driven progression
* Review literature supports continued interest, although direct clinical oncology data remains limited

### Practical interpretation

This is a biologically coherent area for curcumin, even though the human cancer-treatment evidence is not yet deep.
