Symptoms of Stomach Cancer aka Gastric Cancer

Stomach Cancer Glossary

New Hope Medical Center has found that many times symptoms may be improved and possibly reversed with our alternative Stomach Cancer treatment. A significant amount of gastric or stomach abnormal growths include both benign and cancerous lesions. Several types of malignant cancers begin in the stomach, but the majorities are primary cancers which developed in the mucosal glands.

Stomach carcinomas can be grouped according to the total appearance:

• Protruding
• Penetrating
• Spreading

The stomach:

The stomach is a musculo-membranous structure joined by the esophagus and the duodenum or small intestines. The stomach is shaped like the letter J and it serves as a food reservoir and an initiator of the digestive process. The food is held in the stomach temporarily until the stomach lining secretes digestive juices that juices which act on the food to break it down chemically.

Stomach Cancer Symptoms:

In the early stages of Stomach Cancer there may not be any specific symptoms. Early stomach cancer can have very mild symptoms that may appear as simple indigestion. Other symptoms may include:

• Feeling of being full after eating only a small amount of food
• Loss of appetite
• Heartburn
• Unexplained weight loss
• Vomiting
• Difficulty swallowing
• Pain in the abdomen
• Dark bowel movements or blood in the stool
• No appetite
• Difficulty swallowing
