Al-Marsad Newspaper: Dr. Denis Romanoff, an oncologist and radiologist, revealed 6 signs of stomach cancer, which are:
2 – Loss of appetite and change in taste, and refusal to eat foods rich in protein, such as meat.
3- Whitening of the tongue (as a blanching). Dr. Romanov explains that the color of the tongue changes in the case of stomach cancer, because it is covered with a white or gray layer, and its surface becomes smooth, and white spots or bumps appear on it. Cancer in the digestive system is usually associated with excessive salivation.
4 – Fatigue – Romanov says: “This is a very important symptom. However, if a person goes, for example, on vacation, rests and returns to work, and following three days he begins to feel deteriorating once more, this does not necessarily indicate cancer.”
5 – Unjustified weight loss – Romanov points out that this is a serious symptom and indicates an advanced stage of the disease.
6 – A feeling of fullness in the upper part of the abdomen – Romanov advises to undergo gastroscopy annually following forty-five years of age, and in the event that Helicobacter pylori is detected, it must be eradicated.
