BMC’s Yawkey building doors are now closed as an entrance as part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our campus and provide you with the best clinical care.

All patients and visitors on our main campus must enter our hospital via Shapiro, Menino, or Moakley buildings, where they will be greeted by team members at a new centralized check-in desk before continuing to the hospital. We are excited to welcome you and appreciate your patience as we improve our facilities.

Stomach Cancer

Select your language:

Stomach cancer (gastric cancer) starts when cancer cells form in the stomach lining. Early symptoms can include indigestion and heartburn, a bloated feeling after eating a meal, heartburn, slight nausea and loss of appetite. More serious symptoms often appear as a stomach tumor grows, including stomach pain, blood in the stool, vomiting, unintended weight loss and trouble swallowing. Inflammation in the gut (gastritis), anemia and stomach growths (polyps) can increase the risk of stomach cancer.
