Early on, stomach cancer may cause: Indigestion Feeling bloated after you eat a meal Heartburn Slight nausea Loss of appetite Just having indigestion or heartburn after a meal doesn't mean you have cancer. But if you feel these symptoms a lot, talk to your doctor. He can see if you have other risk factors and test you to look for any problems. As stomach tumors grow, you may have more serious symptoms, such as: Stomach pain Blood in your stool Vomiting Weight loss for no reason Trouble swallowing Yellowish eyes or skin Swelling in your stomach Constipation or diarrhea Weakness or feeling tired Heartburn
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 * Dysphagia; this feature suggests a tumor in the cardia or extension of the gastric tumor in to the Oesopagus. These can be symptoms of other problems such as a stomach virus, gastric ulcer or tropical sprue and diagnosis should be done by a gastroenterologist or an oncologist.
There could be any number of symptoms. Nausea, severe constant stomach pain, bloody stools, etc. If you suspect any of these or experience any of them, see a doctor. You cannot treat this yourself and the earlier you find it, the easier it is to treat.

Many Symptoms of Stomach Cancer?
Sometimes it is difficult to diagnose a cancer because the symptoms could be caused by many other health conditions. Stomach cancer is one of those cancers. Just like most other forms of cancer, stomach cancer is best treated in the earliest of stages. However, it could be difficult to know that a patient has stomach cancer because of the common symptoms that may be first ignored. Unfortunately, many cases of stomach cancer do not have any symptoms at all in the early stages. That's what makes this cancer so hard to treat in a fast and efficient way. The symptoms that may occur, and are often ignored, are weight loss or nausea. All of us have gone through times of feeling nausea or losing some weight. Some people don't even realize they have lost some weight, and others are happy when they find out they've lost weight. These aren't symptoms that have people rushing to the doctor. However, if these vague symptoms continue with no reason, and there are also other symptoms along with those, it is time to see the doctor. One major symptom is seeing blood in the stool. This is still one of those symptoms that could mean another type of condition such as anal fissure or hemorrhoids. The blood in the stool can also mean colon cancer. The most common sign of stomach cancer is discomfort and pain in the abdomen. When this pain is persistent the doctor should be seen immediately. Not only is this a symptom of stomach cancer, it is a symptom of several other types of cancer. Vomiting and nausea that is also persistent is another serious symptom. If blood is seen when vomiting the doctor should be seen right away. A loss of appetite for more than two days or so is another cause of worry. When abdominal bloating is part of the appetite loss, this becomes more of a stomach cancer sign. If the bloating occurs after each meal and also includes heartburn or indigestion, this is more serious. Any change in bowel habits could be serious and could be a symptom of other conditions, even colon cancer. When diarrhea or constipation go along with the changes the doctor should be seen.
