Stomach Cancer – Symptoms & Causes

General Cancer Signs

In addition to specific signs related to the digestive tract, stomach cancer also leads to many other general symptoms like other forms of cancer. These include weakness, paleness, tiredness, fever, chilling, lethargy, and more. The lymph nodes would be swollen due to the buildup of fluids. Some people also have trouble swallowing foods because the tumors are blocking the junction between their stomach and esophagus. As a result, patients with stomach cancer often have a loss of appetite, which eventually results in weight loss over time. [5]
