Symptoms of metastatic gastric cancer

The first symptom of gastric cancer metastasis is ovarian metastasis. It mostly occurs in premenopausal or young women. The clinical manifestations were acute abdominal pain, irregular menstruation, lower abdominal mass and so on, but the gastrointestinal symptoms were not obvious. Most of them were involved in both ovaries at the same time, and were easily misdiagnosed as simple ovarian tumor.

Second, liver metastasis is the first symptom. The incidence is high, manifested as liver discomfort, jaundice, diarrhea, etc., generally without gastrointestinal symptoms. Imaging examination is often multiple lesions, scattered distribution, round, clear boundary. AFP (alpha fetoprotein) test was negative, most of them were not accompanied by chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis.

Third, abdominal mass is the first manifestation. This part of gastric cancer mainly invades the outer surface of the stomach (serosa), showing abdominal mass and abdominal lymph node enlargement; Because the inner surface of the stomach (mucosa) is not invaded, it is not easy to be detected by gastroscopy. It is often misdiagnosed as pancreatic cancer.
