Serious Warning Signs Of Stomach Cancer

Full After Small Amounts Of Food

Stomach cancer patients may feel full after they consume even small amounts of food. This symptom may be referred to as early satiety. The mechanism behind this symptom can be anything that disables stomach emptying. For instance, an individual's stomach tumor can take up space near the area where food passes from the stomach into the small intestine, resulting in delayed emptying of the stomach. A patient with a stomach tumor that compresses the first part of the large intestine can also delay stomach emptying. If an individual's tumor is large enough and spans across the stomach, it can obstruct the normal movement of food from the stomach to the small intestine. Stomach cancer that damages the nerve and muscle tissues responsible for propelling food from the stomach to the small intestine can cause a patient to experience early satiety.
