What are the symptoms of late-stage gastric cancer? Pay attention to these three symptoms

Gastric cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in the digestive system. It is also the most common type of tumor. It is also a relatively common malignant tumor in my country. Because the early symptoms of gastric cancer are not obvious, most of them are already in the middle and late stages when they are discovered, and the mortality rate of gastric cancer is also relatively high. The main symptoms of gastric cancer in the late stage are weight loss and anemia, and the duration of abdominal pain is getting longer and longer. In the late stage of gastric cancer, metastasis will occur.

There are many late-stage symptoms of gastric cancer, such as prolonged abdominal pain, gradual weight loss, and anemia, which are typical symptoms of late-stage gastric cancer. Therefore, we must learn more about the late-stage symptoms of gastric cancer in our lives to avoid not knowing how to deal with abnormalities. Here I will introduce to you the late-stage symptoms of gastric cancer.
1. Weight loss and anemia <br/>Generally, after suffering from gastric cancer, even if it is not in the late stage of gastric cancer, the body will show symptoms of rapid weight loss and even anemia. However, most patients tend to pay attention only when they lose more than 3 kilograms, and then the weight loss becomes more obvious, and some can reach more than 5 kilograms. Experts also found that about half of the patients are accompanied by anemia, limb fatigue and other symptoms.
2. Obvious upper abdominal pain that lasts for a long time <br/>In the late stage of gastric cancer, there will be obvious abdominal pain symptoms, which will last for a long time and are not easy to relieve. Due to individual differences in patients, the severity of the pain varies. Severe cases may have symptoms such as bloating, edema, dull pain, and sharp pain. The symptoms cannot be relieved after eating, and they often get worse. Some patients also have symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, fullness, and difficulty swallowing, and these symptoms tend to gradually worsen.
3. The chance of metastasis in late stage gastric cancer is relatively high <br/>If gastric cancer reaches the late stage, it will mostly metastasize, and metastasis can generally spread directly to the adjacent pancreas, liver, transverse colon, etc., or to the lymph nodes around the stomach and distant lymph nodes. Some hard and inactive lymph nodes can be touched on the left clavicle. It can also be transferred to the liver, lungs, brain, bones, ovaries, etc. through blood circulation, resulting in symptoms such as ascites, jaundice, and liver enlargement. The enlargement of the tumor itself can also cause complications such as gastric perforation, bleeding, necrosis, and obstruction.
