pt for bleeding . It depends on the cancer’s features. First, it requires numerous blood supply for the cancer cells grow rapidly. Insufficient blood supply usually lead to the gastric ulcer and cell necrosis and it causes the bleeding. Second, the cancer cells expands to gastral cavity and gastric wall, which hinders gastric mucosa’s function of inhibiting gastric acid. When quantity of gastric acid damages the cancer tissue, the cancer tissue will rupture and bleed. Third, when carcinoma invades the bigger vessels, it will cause the angiorrhoxis. Thus it will cause bleed more than before and its presence is mostly haematemesis.
Apart from the Haematemesis ,the most common symptom of gastric cancer is that the patients’ stool contains blood.When the blood blows through intestinal, the blood becomes brown or black and it goes with stool.
