Is there blood in the stool in the late stages of stomach cancer?

Stomach cancer in advanced stage usually causes patients to have the symptom of blood in stool.
Gastric cancer belongs to malignant tumor disease of digestive tract, which is mainly caused by malignant tumor lesions in gastric mucosa epithelium. According to TNM staging, advanced gastric cancer represents that the malignant tumor cells in the patient’s body have developed distant metastasis.
In addition to obvious epigastric pain, the invasion of the stomach by the disease may cause gastrointestinal bleeding, resulting in blood in the stool, which is mainly manifested as black stool, and in the case of large amount of bleeding, the symptom of vomiting blood may also occur.
There is basically no possibility of cure for advanced gastric cancer, and the difficulty of treatment is relatively large, even if patients receive treatment, the prognosis is relatively poor. Patients should pay attention to daily care and consult doctor in time when abnormal discomfort occurs.
