A member asked:

Can a 14-year-old girl get stomach cancer? symptoms are bloating of the upper abdominal and a feeling of something stuck in her throat and chest.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Physician evaluation: Dear Julie: While it is unlikely for a 13 year old to get stomach cancer, her symptoms are not normal and she needs to be seen by her pediatrician to figure out what is causing them. I hope this helps. All the best, Ariel
