In India, stomach cancer is one of the most common cancers. Early diagnosis is important since cancer treatment is more effective the faster the cancer is found.

Symptoms

Early satiety is the most common symptom of stomach cancer. If you are feeling full after eating only a small amount and if you also notice bloating of the stomach, it is important that you consult with an oncology specialist at the earliest.

A simple procedure of endoscopy can help diagnose the cancer. If stomach cancer is found in stage 1 or 2, there is about 80% chance of curing it fully. Only if the cancer reaches the lymph nodes or other vital organs, does the survival rate drop.
