What are the symptoms of gastric cancer before death

Symptom 1: the main symptoms of patients with advanced gastric cancer are obvious epigastric pain and long duration, which is not easy to relieve. Because of the individual differences of patients, the degree of pain is also different. The severe patients may have swelling pain, edema, dull pain, sharp pain and other manifestations, which can not be relieved after eating, and the symptoms are often aggravated. Some patients also have anorexia, nausea and vomiting, fullness, dysphagia and other symptoms, and these symptoms will become more and more serious.

Symptom 2: emaciation and anemia: according to the statistics of relevant experts, about 90% of the patients suffer from emaciation, which often causes attention only when they lose more than 3 kg, and then progressive emaciation is more obvious, some can reach more than 5 kg. Experts also found that about half of the patients had anemia, limb weakness and other symptoms.

It can spread directly to the adjacent pancreas, liver, transverse colon, etc. it can also be transferred to the lymph nodes around the stomach and distant lymph nodes through lymph nodes. Some can touch the hard and inactive lymph nodes on the left clavicle. It can also be transferred to liver, lung, brain, bone, ovary and other places through blood circulation, resulting in ascites, jaundice, hepatomegaly and other symptoms. The enlargement of the cancer itself can also cause gastric perforation, bleeding, necrosis, obstruction and other complications. The symptoms of advanced gastric cancer before death are hematemesis, black stool or fecal occult blood positive.
