Symptom #4: Stomach Pain
While uncommon, there are some patients who experience stomach pain as a sign of stomach cancer. However, when you do experience stomach pain, it is very unlikely that it is due to stomach cancer. Instead, think of more common conditions such as gastritis, food poisoning, or more. Stomach cancer pain feels more like a persistent gnawing in your abdomen.
The pain does not usually go away. Classically, the pain is feels like a dull ache that is located in the middle of your abdomen. Since it is often confused with other conditions that can also cause stomach pain, diagnosis is usually achieved much later, making treatment and management more difficult.
