Endoscopy for Stomach Cancer

What is Endoscopy for Stomach Cancer?

Stomach cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the stomach lining. Symptoms may be mild initially and become noticeable as the disease progresses.

Common symptoms include:

  • Persistent stomach pain or discomfort

  • Loss of appetite or early fullness

  • Unexplained weight loss

  • Nausea or vomiting

  • Black or blood-stained stools

  • Anemia or fatigue

Stomach cancer (gastric cancer) develops in the lining of the stomach and may progress silently in the early stages. Early diagnosis is essential for successful treatment. At Narayana’s Hospital, we offer advanced endoscopy for stomach cancer to detect abnormalities early, confirm diagnosis, and plan appropriate care.
