Gastric cancer is a disease with a very high incidence rate. When it occurs, pain will occur in the upper abdomen, and it is easy to have symptoms such as loss of appetite or nausea and vomiting. In addition, in the late stage of gastric cancer, the patient's weight loss is obvious, and the patient will also have varying degrees of anemia, which is harmful to health. Therefore, after discovering these symptoms, treatment should be carried out as soon as possible.

More and more people are harmed by gastric cancer in life, and gastric cancer has seriously threatened the health of the body. We all know that it is very important to treat cancer in time after it is discovered. Because if gastric cancer reaches the late stage, it will be very difficult to treat, so we must understand the symptoms of the disease and receive treatment. Let's take a look at the symptoms of gastric cancer.
1. Pain in the upper abdomen <br/>There are not many early symptoms of gastric cancer, and when abnormalities occur, many people will treat them as common stomach problems. In the early stages of gastric cancer, there will be bloating and pain in the upper abdomen. These abnormalities should not be ignored. A comprehensive examination is required, which will also affect the early detection of gastric cancer and affect its treatment.
2. Loss of appetite <br/>Some people may feel that they can't eat suddenly. And they may lose their appetite for no reason, and their weight may decrease quickly. This symptom lasts for a long time, so you must pay attention. Because when these abnormal conditions occur, it is possible that you have already developed gastric cancer. You should go to the hospital for examination in time and receive reasonable treatment as soon as possible.
3. Nausea and vomiting <br/>Some patients with gastric cancer will experience nausea and vomiting in the early stage, and the degree of nausea and vomiting varies. At the same time, the nausea and vomiting will last for a long time, and some patients may even have blood in their stools. At this time, it is necessary to pay special attention. It is best to go to the hospital for a gastroscopy. If it is confirmed to be early gastric cancer, it can be directly removed to prevent the spread of cancer cells.
4. Weight loss and anemia <br/>The weight loss of patients with advanced gastric cancer is very obvious. According to statistics from relevant experts, about 90% of patients experience weight loss. Weight loss usually only attracts attention when it exceeds 3 kilograms, and then progressive weight loss becomes more obvious, and some patients may reach more than 5 kilograms. Experts also found that about half of the patients are accompanied by anemia, limb weakness and other symptoms. Sometimes these are also the first symptoms of gastric cancer. Many patients hate greasy food and have no appetite, or automatically restrict their diet after meals due to fullness, discomfort, heat, etc., and lose weight significantly, and are successively accompanied by fatigue, anemia and eventually develop into cachexia.
