Signs And Symptoms Of Stomach Cancer

Feeling Full Faster

Tumors in the stomach due to stomach cancer may cause patients to feel full after eating small amounts of food. This can occur for several reasons. One is the tumor may block part of the area where food goes from the stomach to the small intestine. Tumors may also compress part of the large intestine, delaying the emptying of the stomach even more. Stomach cancer may also cause damage to the nerves and tissues that get food to move from the stomach to the small intestine. All of these make it harder for the stomach to empty, which means individuals will feel full faster and for longer.
