How does stomach cancer affect the digestive system?

Question

Answer 1

The cancer can be ulcerated and bleed resulting in GI bleed. The patient can vomit blood (hematemesis) and have blood in stools.
The mass can be large and obstruct or compromise the food passage resulting in obstruction symptoms (pain, discomfort , indigestion and vomiting).
The tumor can potentially interfere with the normal stomach digesting function. Food may be less digested.
The patient also often loses appetite and can have bloating.

Answer 2

Each year, about 24,000 people in the United States learn that they have cancer of the stomach. Stomach cancer (also called gastric cancer) can develop in any part of the stomach and can spread throughout the stomach and to other organs. It can grow along the stomach wall into the esophagus or small intestine. It also can extend through the stomach wall and spread to nearby lymph nodes, and to organs such as the liver, pancreas, and colon


Stomach cancer can grow slowly and imperceptibly. Sometimes symptoms will only develop once the disease has spread beyond the stomach, for example to involve the liver. In this case, the symptoms would be those of cancer involving the liver.

There may be internal bleeding appearing as blood in the vomit, or black, tar-like, faeces, or the bleeding may be so slight as to pass undetected, and the patient goes to the doctor with iron-deficiency anaemia. Or there may be vomiting due to the obstruction of the food passage by the tumour, which is the first sign that something is wrong.

Excessive belching can be an early, and embarrassing, symptom. This can progress to a sensation of vague discomfort followed by pain if the tumour grows through the stomach wall.

As with cancer of the oesophagus, it may take a long time, often many months, from the time that symptoms first appear to the patient seeking medical advice. This delay may allow time for the tumour to spread and to progress from being potentially curable to being inoperable
I should think, this is the extent to which stomach cancer affect the digestive system, unless of course it has spread to other parts

It will eventually cause you to have a difficulty in swallowing, often painful. So therefore, it makes it hard for you to eat anything. In relation, patients lose weight and become weak, and their immune system diminishes. Most have to remain on a pureed or even liquid diet for nourishment. Last resort would be a G-tube, which is a tube inserted into the stomach for liquid feedings.
