Can Stomach Caner Show Up on a Blood Test

How it Works

What are the symptoms of Stomach Cancer?

Stomach cancer often does not cause any symptoms in its early stages which can make it difficult to diagnose.  People who do develop symptoms may mistake them for other common gastrointestinal issues.  If these symptoms persist, it is important to talk to a doctor.  As with many illnesses, identifying stomach cancer early can lead to more effective treatment and a better prognosis.  Symptoms associated with stomach cancer can include indigestion, heartburn, abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, vomiting (especially after meals), blood in the vomit or stool, diarrhea, constipation, unexplained weight loss, loss of appetite, weakness, and fatigue.

How do you test for Stomach Cancer?

Unfortunately, no one test can diagnose stomach cancer.  Imaging tests and biopsies along with physical examinations are often required.  There are several tests that can identify warning signs of stomach cancer.  An occult blood fecal test looks for small amounts of blood in a stool sample that is not visible to the naked eye.  This can indicate bleeding in the stomach.  A complete blood count includes a measure of your red blood cells.  A low RBC count is a sign of anemia.  Tumor market tests like the CA-125 and CEA can also be helpful.  However, not all cancer cases will show elevated tumor markers so further testing will still be necessary.
