What are the symptoms of early gastric cancer

So what are the early symptoms?

1. Regardless of the type of tumor, in the early stages of the growth process of cancer cells, a large amount of nutrition and energy are required, which will cause the body's normal tissues to be unable to obtain nutrition, manifesting as obvious thinness. If the patient suffers from stomach problems and does not intentionally lose weight, but loses 10 kilograms in a month, consider whether it is caused by cancer.

2. Some patients with early gastric cancer can feel a fixed lump on the right side of the upper abdomen. The lump is usually hard and rough, and painful when pressed.

3. These symptoms will also appear when there are some digestive tract diseases, and they are more obvious in patients with gastric cancer. If the gastric tumor is in the pyloric area, nausea will occur frequently. If the tumor grows at the exit of the stomach, there will be a sour or rotten egg smell, and vomiting will also occur, mostly due to old food and gastric juice.

4. 80% of the above-mentioned gastric cancer patients will gradually experience upper abdominal pain and discomfort. The early symptoms are similar to indigestion. The abdominal pain is mild and irregular, and cannot be relieved after eating. As the disease progresses, the abdominal pain begins to increase frequently. If it is a gastric antrum tumor, the pain is regular and can be significantly relieved after eating or taking medicine.

5. As the tumor grows, it will destroy the small blood vessels in the stomach, so there will be symptoms of occult blood in the stool. However, if the invaded blood vessels are larger, it will cause vomiting blood, and asphalt black stools will appear below.
