Gastric cancer is a common malignant tumor disease in life. Its occurrence is undoubtedly the biggest threat to the patient's physical and mental health and life safety. Experts say that many people now suffer from gastric cancer at a young age. So, will gastrointestinal cancer show up on the belly skin? Let's take a look at the following introduction.

Symptoms of stomach cancer in young people:

1. Short course of disease, rapid clinical progression, early recurrence and metastasis, poor tumor prognosis, and the younger the age, the shorter the course of disease, with the shortest course being only half a year. A considerable number of patients have already had extensive recurrence and metastasis when they are diagnosed, and quickly develop cachexia.

2. Hidden symptoms. Young people with gastric cancer often present with upper abdominal pain, poor digestion, and loss of appetite, which are often considered to be peptic ulcers or gastritis. Some gynecological gastric cancers during pregnancy are easily mistaken for pregnancy reactions.

3. Prone to bleeding. Gastric cancer in young people is highly malignant and grows rapidly. The blood supply around the cancer is insufficient, which can easily lead to ulcers, upper gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation. Anemia also appears early, often before vomiting blood or black stools.

4. The upper abdominal pain is dull at first, then gradually worsens to moderate to severe, often occurring after meals, without an interval, and cannot be relieved by antacids.

5. Loss of appetite Gastric cancer patients often have loss of appetite, especially those who used to have a good appetite. Recently, they have a sharp decrease in appetite, progressive weight loss, mental fatigue, and fatigue.

6. Gastrointestinal bleeding is mostly a small amount of vomiting blood or black stools, and in a few cases, acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding is the first symptom.

7. Progressive anemia: A small number of patients seek medical treatment with anemia as the first symptom, most of which are chronic progressive blood loss caused by cancer.

8. Other symptoms may occur depending on the location, size, and metastasis of the tumor. For example, cardiac cancer may cause dysphagia at an early stage; pyloric cancer may cause pyloric obstruction; lung metastasis may cause cough and dyspnea; liver metastasis may cause liver pain and jaundice; and bone metastasis may cause bone pain.
