Recently one of my friend always got lower left abdominal pain, He is very curious about why such things happen. I think he might need some observation or examine from hospital, but he don't think so.

I'm very concern about his health, and I want to know, whether there is some cancer associated to pain in lower left abdomen?

I need to search some online resource and get my conclusion.

    my symptoms started with left abdominal pains that my doctor kept saying was a muscle pull. I finally went to the emergency department and they could not detect anything through blood tests, urine tests, x-rays. They finally did a catscan and found a tumor in my stomach.
