early symptons?

Question

can anyone please help me by telling me what are the main early symptons of stomach cancer,,,,
many thanks to anyone who can help me xx

Answer 1

It is a reasonably uncommon cancer in UK, and not the first thing I think of when someone comes in with abdominal symptoms, especially if they are under 55 years.

Stomach cancers often present with unexplained weight loss only. They are also often picked up in patients whose dyspepsia does not respond to conventional therapy and end up getting endoscopy, often belatedly, as they are usually patients who have already been investigated several times before.

Answer 2

Stomach cancer (also known as gastric cancer) is a disease in which the cells forming the inner lining of the stomach become abnormal and start to divide uncontrollably, forming a mass called a tumor.

Symptoms-

Stomach cancer is often asymptomatic or causes only nonspecific symptoms in its early stages. By the time symptoms occur, the cancer has generally metastasized to other parts of the body, one of the main reasons for its poor prognosis. Stomach cancer can cause the following signs and symptoms:

Early

* Indigestion or a burning sensation (heartburn)
* Loss of appetite, especially for meat

Late

* Abdominal pain or discomfort in the upper abdomen
* Nausea and vomiting
* Diarrhea or constipation
* Bloating of the stomach after meals
* Weight loss
* Weakness and fatigue
* Bleeding (vomiting blood or having blood in the stool), which can lead to anemia

These can be symptoms of other health problems, such as a stomach virus or gastric ulcer, and diagnosis should be done by a gastroenterologist or an oncologist.-

Answer 3

Early stomach cancer often does not cause clear symptoms. As the cancer grows, the most common symptoms are:

Discomfort in the stomach area
Feeling full or bloated after a small meal
Nausea and vomiting
Weight loss
Most often, these symptoms are not due to cancer. Other health problems, such as an ulcer or infection, can cause the same symptoms. Anyone with these symptoms should tell the doctor so that problems can be found and treated as early as possible.

Answer 4

Etiology of stomach cancer is multifactorial, but Helicobacter pylori plays a significant role. Symptoms include early satiety, obstruction, and bleeding but tend to occur late in the disease. Diagnosis is by endoscopy, followed by CT and endoscopic ultrasound for staging. Treatment is mainly surgery; chemotherapy may provide a temporary response. Long-term survival is poor except for those with local disease.
Symptoms of Stomach (Gastric) Cancer:-
* Loss of appetite
* Difficulty swallowing, particularly difficulty that increases over time
* Vague abdominal fullness
* Nausea and vomiting
* Vomiting blood
* Abdominal pain
* Excessive belching
* Breath odor
* Excessive gas (flatus)
* Unintentional weight loss
* A general decline in health
* Premature abdominal fullness after meals

Answer 5

go to your doctor and ask them,
the site mentioned seems helpful but i would go to the doctor for diagnosis
i had breast cancer and my late husband had brain cancer, we met many people with different forms all detected in different ways so i would have thought this would be the case with all cancers, don't self diagnose.
good luck xx
