Complications of radiotherapy for gastric cancer

Most liver cancer patients will feel tired after a few weeks of radiotherapy, and will feel more tired as the radiotherapy continues.

Second: skin: after radiotherapy, the skin of patients with gastric cancer often becomes dry. The patient should tell the doctor about these symptoms, and the doctor will make suggestions to eliminate your discomfort. A few weeks after radiotherapy, most of the skin reactions will be eliminated. Patients should be careful with their skin.

Third: blood: radiotherapy almost does not reduce the number of white blood cells or platelets. These blood cells help the body fight infection and prevent bleeding. If the patient's blood test shows that radiotherapy reduces the number of white blood cells or platelets, treatment will be postponed for one week to increase the patient's blood cell count.
