Gastric cancer develops in the lining of the stomach and can grow slowly without obvious symptoms in its early stages. An MRI may show changes in the stomach lining that could be associated with a mass or abnormal tissue. Finding signs of gastric cancer early, when it is confined to the stomach wall, may significantly improve treatment outcomes. Endoscopy is the primary diagnostic tool for gastric cancer, however MRI contributes to staging and assessment of surrounding tissue.
