What are the signs of stomach cancer?
Signals of injury, illness, disease, or that something is not right in the body
-Sign: Signal that can be seen by someone else
For example, fever, fast breathing, and abnormal lung sounds heard through a stethoscope may be signs of pneumonia.
-Symptom: Signal that is felt or noticed by the person who has it, but may not be easily seen by anyone else.
For example, weakness, aching, and feeling short of breath may be symptoms of pneumonia.
-People who have stomach cancer rarely have symptoms in the early stages of the disease.
-This is one of the reasons why stomach cancer is so hard to find early.
The signs and symptoms of this cancer can include:
-No desire to eat (poor appetite)
-Unintended weight loss
-Pain in the area of the stomach (abdominal pain)
-Vague discomfort in the abdomen (belly), often above the navel
-A sense of fullness just below the chest bone after eating a small meal
-Heartburn, indigestion, or ulcer-type symptoms
- Nausea
- Vomiting, with or without blood
-Swelling or fluid build-up in the abdomen
-Many of these symptoms can be caused by problems other than cancer.
-But if you have any of these problems and they don't go away or get worse, you should see a doctor.
