Stomach Cancer Symptoms - What to Look For and How it is Diagnosed
By Melissa McKyler
Most symptoms actually bear strong resemblance to those of a hiatal hernia or peptic ulcer. This can start out with stomach pains that are only aggravated by food, along with heartburn, indigestion, and nausea. A loss of appetite or feeling full even after a small meal can also be placed under stomach cancer symptoms. Along with this can come upper abdominal pains, weight loss, and the actual bloating of the stomach after meals. In more extreme cases, vomiting blood or blood being found in the feces can also occur. This isn't usually the rich red colored fresh blood, but dark blood.
Although some of these symptoms can also be symptoms of a stomach virus or gastric ulcer, if you have even the slightest feeling that it could be cancerous, then go to your doctor. The risk of acquiring these stomach cancer symptoms becomes significantly higher when things like age begin to factor in. A diet that primarily consists of salty food prepared by smoking or curing is also something to take note off.
