Gastric cancer is one of the common malignant tumors. Most patients with gastric cancer often do not exhibit typical clinical symptoms in the early stages and may only experience non-specific symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, vomiting, abdominal bloating, acid reflux, and heartburn, which makes the condition easy to overlook. If the disease progresses and the tumor grows larger, symptoms such as worsening abdominal pain, increased fatigue, weight loss, bleeding, and black stools may appear.
