What are the symptoms of gastric stump cancer?

summary

Gastric stump cancer is caused by benign diseases such as gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer. When most of the stomach is resected, a small part of the stomach is painful and swollen. According to the observation, the probability of gastric cancer in remnant stomach is three times higher than that in normal gastric cancer, and remnant stomach cancer has no specific symptoms in the early stage, which is easy to be considered as "ulcer recurrence" and other benign lesions, thus delaying the treatment. What are the symptoms of gastric stump cancer? Let's talk about it.

What are the symptoms of gastric stump cancer?

1. Irregular burning pain or fullness in the upper abdomen may be accompanied by emaciation, dyspepsia, suffocation and other symptoms.

2. Anemia of unknown origin, repeated negative stool occult blood test, or sudden hematemesis, solution of tarry stool.

3. This point can be distinguished from benign lesions. For example, the syndrome after gastrectomy appears soon after operation and exists for a long time; Ulcer recurrence also occurred within 3 years after operation.

matters needing attention

Therefore, the previous view that early gastrectomy can prevent the malignant transformation of peptic ulcer has been denied. The incidence of gastric stump cancer after gastrectomy is similar to that after duodenectomy. The incidence of gastric stump cancer is related to the first operation. Gastric stump cancer is more likely to occur in patients with subtotal gastrectomy and simple gastrojejunostomy than in patients with subtotal gastrectomy. The most common site of gastric stump cancer is anastomotic stoma, but it can also diffuse throughout the remnant stomach.
