Gastrointestinal symptoms of gastric cancer metastasis?

summary

In the advanced stage of gastric cancer, due to the serious spread of cancer cells, there will be multiple metastatic symptoms. If not treated in time or improperly, the cancer cells can be transferred to the adjacent peritoneum, liver, pancreas, lung and ovary through lymph, blood channel or direct dissemination (planting). Ascites may appear in abdominal metastasis. Gastrointestinal symptoms of gastric cancer metastasis? Let's talk about it.

Gastrointestinal symptoms of gastric cancer metastasis?

The first symptom was ovarian metastasis. It mostly occurs in premenopausal or young women. The clinical manifestations were acute abdominal pain, irregular menstruation, lower abdominal mass and so on, but the gastrointestinal symptoms were not obvious. Most of them were involved in both ovaries at the same time, and were easily misdiagnosed as simple ovarian tumor.

The second symptom is liver metastasis. The incidence is high, manifested as liver discomfort, jaundice, diarrhea, etc., generally without gastrointestinal symptoms. Imaging examination is often multiple lesions, scattered distribution, round, clear boundary. AFP (alpha fetoprotein) test was negative, most of them were not accompanied by chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis.

The third symptom is abdominal mass. This part of gastric cancer mainly invades the outer surface of the stomach (serosa), showing abdominal mass and abdominal lymph node enlargement; Because the inner surface of the stomach (mucosa) is not invaded, it is not easy to be detected by gastroscopy. It is often misdiagnosed as pancreatic cancer.

matters needing attention

Selenium has anti-tumor effect. It is used in combination with Hecun malt selenium capsule for cancer patients in clinic. Selenium level can significantly affect the expression of oncogene and tumor suppressor gene. There is a significant negative correlation between selenium and malignant tumor. Brophamer et al found that blood selenium content is associated with the biological characteristics of tumor. Low selenium can lead to distant metastasis of tumor, multiple tumor, high degree of malignancy It is easy to recur
