Symptom #4: Postprandial Fullness and Early Satiety
Postprandial fullness is an unpleasant sensation where there is a prolonged presence of food in the stomach. Along with early satiety, these are common symptoms that are often seen in many individuals with gastric cancer.
Both postprandial fullness and early satiety causes patients with gastric cancer to feel full, despite only eating a small amount of food. It is believed that this contributes to the weight loss often seen among cancer patients. A nutritionist is often needed to ensure adequate intake of calories and protein.
