Stomach Cancer

Stomach Cancer - Symptoms

What are the symptoms of stomach cancer?

There are often no or mild symptoms in the early stages of stomach cancer. As the cancer progresses, symptoms may show and may include:

  • Persistent indigestion (reflux) or a burning sensation after meals (heartburn) 
  • Upper abdominal discomfort or pain after a meal 
  • Feeling bloated after eating 
  • Feeling very full after a small meal 
  • Loss of appetite 
  • Unexplained and unintentional weight loss 
  • Nausea or vomiting 
  • Blood in the stools or black stools 

When stomach cancer is more advanced it may be possible for a healthcare professional to feel a mass in the stomach.

When should you see a doctor? 

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you.
