Overview

Stomach cancer must be differentiated from other diseases presenting with episodic abdominal pain, weight loss and loss of appetite such as gastric lymphoma, gastric metastasis, gastritis, benign gastric ulcer, Menetrier's disease.

Differential Diagnosis

Stomach cancer must be differentiated from other diseases presenting with episodic abdominal pain, weight loss and loss of appetite. The differentials include the following:[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]

Differential Diagnosis
Disease Cause Symptoms Diagnosis Other findings
Pain Nausea & Vomiting Heartburn Belching or Bloating Weight loss Loss of Appetite Stools Endoscopy findings
Location Aggravating Factors Alleviating Factors
Acute gastritis Food Antacids ✔ ✔ ✔ - ✔ Black stools -
Chronic gastritis Food Antacids ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ - H. pylori gastritis

Lymphocytic gastritis

  • Enlarged folds
  • Aphthoid erosions
 -
Atrophic gastritis - - ✔ - ✔ ✔ - H. pylori
