- Unexplained weight loss
Unintentional weight loss is one of the symptoms that deserves particular attention.
If you are losing weight without deliberately changing your diet or exercise routine, don’t simply assume that it is a positive development.
Many conditions can cause unexplained weight loss, including digestive disorders, thyroid problems, infections, psychological conditions and other diseases.
Cancer is one possible cause, but it is far from the only one.
The important point is that unexplained weight loss should be evaluated rather than ignored.
The NCI specifically lists weight loss for no known reason among symptoms that may occur as stomach cancer progresses.
