Probably not, although there may be a correlation between stomach cancer and cervical cancer. I read that men with prostate, bladder, or testicular cancer and women with ovarian, breast, or See also:

See all 1878 questions about Cancer
cervical cancer may have an increased risk of stomach cancer.

But having another kind of cancer is never listed as one of the primary risk factors for stomach cancer, and stomach cancer is not a common cancer to be associated with cervical cancer. (I’ve read that HPV, the virus that may cause cervical cancer, has been linked to other kinds of cancers, such as urinary-genital tract or even the head and neck, but not stomach cancer). I’d say consult your doctor, since it’s possible, but unlikely, that stomach cancer and cervical cancer are specifically related.
