Signs And Symptoms Of Stomach Cancer

Issues Swallowing

Patients with stomach cancer can also deal with issues swallowing as one of their symptoms. This is because these cancerous tumors can grow at the top of the stomach and esophagus, creating a narrowing path for food to reach the stomach. This makes it harder for them. Stomach cancer can also compromise the nerves in the esophagus that are responsible for swallowing. When these nerves are damaged due to the growth of cancerous tissue, they may not signal the muscles to contract correctly when swallowing. The tissue may also physically prevent the muscles from contracting properly. All of this makes it harder for stomach cancer patients to swallow their food.
