Peritoneal Cancer
Signs and Symptoms

In its earliest stages, symptoms for peritoneum cancer can be very vague and difficult to spot. Like ovarian cancer, the condition often does not produce any symptoms until late in its development. When symptoms of peritoneum cancer do develop, they are similar to those of ovarian cancer. Symptoms may include:

• General abdominal discomfort and pain, such as gas, indigestion, pressure, swelling, bloating or cramps
• Nausea, diarrhea, constipation and frequent urination
• Loss of appetite
• Feeling full even after a light meal
• Weight gain or loss with no known reason
• Abnormal bleeding from the vagina
