In some oncological diseases, the first symptoms appear at the earliest stages. But often they resemble the usual disorders of the body. Therefore, it is important to consult a doctor, since earlier detection of the diagnosis will allow you to fight the disease more successfully. This was stated by the British doctor Sanjay Mehta.
According to the doctor, stomach cancer causes symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, pain in the upper abdomen, acid reflux and weight loss. However, there are also nonspecific symptoms.
The first signs of stomach cancer are often uncertain, but may include:
- difficulty swallowing
- heartburn
- upset stomach and pain
- changes in appetite, including feeling full after eating small amounts or sudden weight changes
- nausea and vomiting
These symptoms may also indicate other diseases, therefore, if they appear, it is necessary to urgently consult a doctor.
