British doctor Sanjay Mehta said that some symptoms of stomach cancer can appear early and thus allow faster diagnosis of the disease.

He noted that often stomach cancer is detected at a late stage, because its first symptoms were vague and a person could confuse them with other diseases. Mehta cited heartburn, indigestion, changes in appetite, including feeling full after eating small amounts, as well as nausea and vomiting, among those possible signs.

The specialist warned that early cancer can cause bleeding in the stomach, resulting in a decrease in the number of red blood cells and the disease manifests itself in the form of anemia - this is found out when taking a blood test.

Also, the doctor added, it is necessary to see a doctor when it becomes difficult to swallow, there are pains in the upper abdomen, acid reflux appears and a person quickly loses weight. These symptoms may indicate other diseases, but it is still necessary to check them with a specialist.

Earlier, the charity Pancreatic Cancer UK said that rapid satiety during meals is one of the signs of pancreatic cancer.
