What kind of gastric cancer is suitable for TCM treatment
summary
At the beginning, there was mild stomach pain, swelling and heaviness, and sometimes there was a dull pain in the heart socket. When I went to the hospital, I was diagnosed as gastritis or ulcer and treated, and the symptoms were temporarily relieved. It's getting worse recently. It's gastric cancer. After treatment, it has basically recovered. Now I would like to share with you the question of what kind of gastric cancer is suitable for TCM treatment.
What kind of gastric cancer is suitable for TCM treatment
Treatment 1: operation as the main treatment: the first choice for gastric cancer. Radical resection should be performed for all cases except those with small lymph nodes. Attention should be paid to the patient's urine volume and drainage tube after operation. The amount of urine can be used to judge the cardiopulmonary function. The drainage tube is like a sentry, which can detect the recovery of the wound. After the operation, if there is bleeding, anastomotic bleeding or gastric bleeding, the drainage tube can be seen at a glance.
Treatment 2: adjuvant chemotherapy: chemotherapy is the main adjuvant therapy for gastric cancer, and radiotherapy is less used. Adjuvant chemotherapy used to be carried out after surgery, in order to consolidate the curative effect of surgery and kill the residual lesions and tumor cells. In recent years, preoperative chemotherapy, also known as neoadjuvant chemotherapy, is advocated. After the diagnosis of gastric cancer, it is not necessary to operate immediately. First, some chemotherapy drugs are given to control and reduce the tumor, and then the operation is carried out to improve the success rate of surgical resection. This is just like the strategy of encircling but not fighting in the Northeast campaign, which first controls the tumor and lymph nodes, and then encircles and annihilates them in the operation. So after the diagnosis of gastric cancer, don't rush to do surgery.
Treatment 3: the treatment of gastric cancer, like most other tumors, should adopt comprehensive treatment measures, various methods should learn from each other's strong points, coordinate and reasonably arrange the use, so as to achieve the best curative effect. In addition to surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, there are also traditional Chinese medicine and immunotherapy, which can be used selectively to improve immunity and quality of life and reduce the risk of recurrence and metastasis.
matters needing attention
Eat hard food on the anastomotic stoma has a certain expansion, so do not long-term half flow diet after surgery. The key is to adjust the patient's mentality, avoid impatience, and gradually increase the amount of diet.
