10 Signs of Stomach Cancer

Stomach Cancer Sign #3: Heartburn
Heartburn is a fairly common condition that is caused when the caustic juices in the stomach are able to rise up the esophagus. The caustic nature of these juices causes them to burn at the soft, unprotected tissues of the esophagus. This causes the burning sensation that we know as heartburn, also referred to as acid reflux.
Stomach cancer can also cause the juices to escape the stomach, potentially resulting in heartburn. Because heartburn is a fairly common condition, it is unlikely to lead to a correct diagnosis on its own. There are remedies available that will help to relieve the symptoms.
