What are the early symptoms of gastric cancer

Gastric cancer, like most tumors, is difficult to detect and diagnose early, mainly because patients often do not feel any obvious abnormalities in the early stages, and by the time more typical symptoms appear, it is often no longer in the early stages. If patients can pay attention to the initial mild symptoms and undergo further examinations and treatment, satisfactory results can basically be achieved.

The early stages of gastric cancer include stage 0 and stage 1 a and b, which are both good prognostic periods. Most patients still have some abnormal sensations, mainly reactions to some common digestive tract diseases, especially reactions similar to general gastritis. For example:

1. Hollow pain in the pit of the stomach. This pain is not serious and is tolerable. It has nothing to do with eating and is easy to occur when resting quietly.

2. A feeling of fullness in the upper abdomen. This feeling is more obvious when eating. Usually, the patient feels full after eating a small amount of food. The patient no longer wants to eat, and is often accompanied by warmth and nausea. Because the location is mostly under the xiphoid process or to the right, it is sometimes misdiagnosed as a gallbladder disease.

3. Anorexia, especially aversion to meat, especially fatty meat. About 50% of patients have the phenomenon of suddenly hating fatty meat. Due to eating less and anorexia, patients can lose weight quickly in a short period of time.

4. Some patients may also have black stools in the early stage. This is because the lesions damage the small blood vessels. The above mild symptoms are often mistaken for chronic gastritis and fail to attract the attention of patients and doctors. Therefore, people over 40 years old who suddenly develop the above symptoms should undergo gastroscopy in time.
