Early symptoms of gastric cancer and intestinal cancer

Early symptoms of gastric cancer and colorectal cancer

1. There may be no obvious symptoms in the early stages of gastric cancer. Some patients experience mild upper abdominal discomfort, abdominal fullness, and indigestion, which can easily be confused with diseases such as gastritis.

2. Early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment are the key to curing colorectal cancer and prolonging life. The tumors of patients with early colorectal cancer have not spread or metastasized. Through radical surgery, the tumor cells can be completely removed and the disease can generally be cured.

3. In the early stages of gastric cancer and intestinal cancer, patients will not experience any discomfort because the lesions are very small. In the middle and late stages of gastric cancer, symptoms such as upper abdominal pain, melena and weight loss may occur.

Diagnosis of early gastric cancer

In the early stages of gastric cancer, the lesions are often small and easily overlooked, requiring more careful observation by the endoscopist. If diseased tissue is found, it can be sent for pathological examination. Pathological diagnosis is the most authoritative method for diagnosing early gastric cancer.

Patients with obvious stomach pain should go to the hospital for fiber gastroscopy in time to effectively diagnose whether it is gastric cancer. The methods for diagnosing early gastric cancer include gastroscopy, B-ultrasound, and gastric CT.
