How can you tell if stomach cancer is spreading?

Cannot: Cancer spreading is usually determined by biopsies at the tine of surgery. Some radiology tests could suggest concerns of spread such as ct scan or pet scan, but biopsies are the only way to tell definitively.

CT scan: When stomach cancer spreads, the most common sites are to the liver or to the lining of the abdomen. In order to monitor for spread, your doctor will most likely order a ct scan every 6mo-1yr in order keep an eye on these areas. Suspicious areas may need a biopsy.
