    The following are complications of Gastrointestinal (GI) / stomach cancer:

    • Pain: Large stomach tumors may press on surrounding nerves, leading to back or abdominal pain that can sometimes be severe.

    • Metastasis: Metastasis (the spreading of cancer) is the most serious complication of stomach cancer. The stomach is surrounded by a number of vital organs, including the pancreas, spleen, liver, lungs, and intestine.

    You should read product labels, and discuss all therapies with a qualified healthcare provider. Natural Standard information does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
