The tumor in the stomach can disturb the digestion, prevent the passage of food into the underlying digestive tract departments. The cancer tumor germinates the stomach wall, can spread to other organs - germinate into the colon, pancreas. When the tumor is located near the esophagus, it can spread to it and disrupt the passage of food in the stomach. As a result of all this, weight decreases down to exhaustion. The tumor can spread through the lymphatic and blood vessels to other organs (liver, light, brain, bone, etc.), where gives foci of growth. Due to the violation of the body, death arises.
Disease Stages:
- The diameter of the tumor is not more than 2 cm, the germination of only the mucous membrane without visible metastases into lymph nodes;
- The diameter of the tumor is 4-5 cm, the germination of the submembratus and muscle layers, may be regional metastases;
- large sizes of tumor, germination of serous shell, adjacent organs; There are distant metastases.
