The most obvious sign of stomach cancer

There is no single most obvious sign of gastric cancer. The more obvious sign of gastric cancer is often persistent and difficult to relieve upper abdominal pain, which may gradually worsen and be accompanied by systemic symptoms such as loss of appetite and weight loss.

Gastric cancer is a malignant tumor originating from the gastric mucosal epithelium and glands. Its early symptoms are often atypical and can be easily confused with benign diseases such as gastritis and gastric ulcers. As the disease progresses, the tumor gradually grows and invades the surrounding tissues. The patient will clearly feel persistent dull pain or pain in the upper abdomen, usually in the area where the stomach is located. This pain may worsen after eating, and it is difficult to effectively relieve it by taking conventional antacids or analgesics.

In addition to upper abdominal pain, gastric cancer patients may also experience a series of other symptoms, such as burning sensation in the stomach, increased feeling of fullness, nausea and vomiting, vomiting blood or black stools, difficulty swallowing, abdominal masses, and cachexia manifestations such as anemia, weight loss, and fatigue that may occur in the late stage. The appearance of these symptoms often indicates that the disease has developed to a certain stage.

For people who have long-term stomach discomfort, especially when accompanied by pain, they should be highly alert to the possibility of gastric cancer and seek medical attention in time for gastroscopy and other related examinations to clarify the diagnosis.
