A member asked:
Is it possible to have a big stomach from lung cancer?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Unusual: Most lose weight and have a smaller abdomen. The actual stomach can dilate with the tumor and any obstruction. If spread to omentum or liver some masses or apparent enlargement might appear.

Depends but rare: A big stomach can mean large ventral hernia, diastasis, gastric bloat, obesity or other diagnoses. Lung cancer should not impact the abdomen unless by obstruction and advanced stage. Okay to ask your care team. It is possible something else is going on. Good luck.
