What are the symptoms of colon cancer metastasizing to the stomach

When colorectal cancer metastasizes to the stomach, it may cause nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, weight loss, and may also cause symptoms of gastric bleeding such as black stools or vomiting blood. It is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible for a clear diagnosis through examination.

When colorectal cancer metastasizes, cancer cells invade the stomach and have a direct impact on gastric function, causing the stomach wall to be invaded, causing the patient to experience persistent or intermittent abdominal pain. At the same time, due to the connection of the gastrointestinal tract, impaired gastric function may cause nausea and vomiting, especially after eating. The spread of cancer cells in the stomach may cause surface ulcers, resulting in symptoms of gastric bleeding, such as black stools, bloody vomiting, etc. In severe cases, anemia may occur. Loss of appetite and weight loss are more common systemic symptoms, which are often related to metabolic depletion caused by tumors.

It is recommended that once the above symptoms are found, timely medical treatment should be sought and gastroscopy, CT scan and other examinations should be performed to clarify the specific location and range of tumor metastasis. If it is confirmed that colorectal cancer has metastasized to the stomach, treatment usually includes chemotherapy (such as 5-fluorouracil combined with oxaliplatin), targeted therapy (such as bevacizumab) and symptomatic treatment (such as analgesia, antiemetic, etc.). During treatment, patients should pay attention to the intake of easily digestible and nutritious foods, avoid raw, cold, spicy and stimulating foods, and have regular follow-up examinations under the guidance of a specialist.
