In the early stages, gastric tumors often have subtle symptoms and may commonly present as indigestion, acid reflux, or belching. As the tumor grows larger, patients may experience discomfort in the upper abdomen, abdominal pain, or anemia. If the tumor compresses nearby lymph nodes, it may also lead to jaundice. When patients exhibit the above symptoms, it is recommended to promptly seek medical evaluation at a hospital for appropriate diagnostic tests and targeted treatment.
