Dr. Vinay Gaikwad, Director, The Oncology Centre, CK Birla Hospital, Gurugram says, “The symptoms of stomach cancer can be very vague and misleading sometimes. The feeling of acidity and abdominal pain is very common and is taken lightly until the disease has progressed substantially. Sometimes these symptoms may indicate low haemoglobin levels, sudden weight loss, or decreased appetite which is usually ignored by the patients.”​
