Treatment of gastric cancer which method is the most professional
First, surgical treatment. The main treatment of gastric cancer is surgery. Radical resection can be done in the early and middle stage, and palliative resection can be done in the late stage. This kind of gastric cancer treatment method mainly uses the operation to excise the cancer cell.
The second is chemotherapy, which is used to prolong the survival period before, during and after radical operation. Chemotherapy can slow down the development of tumor and improve the symptoms of patients with advanced gastric cancer. In principle, adjuvant chemotherapy is not necessary for patients with early gastric cancer after radical operation. Patients with the following conditions should be treated with adjuvant chemotherapy: pathological type, high degree of malignancy; tumor area greater than 5 cm; multiple tumor; age less than 40 years old. Chemotherapy is needed in patients with advanced gastric cancer after radical operation, palliative operation and recurrence after radical operation.
Third: radiotherapy. In the past, radiotherapy was rarely used in the treatment of gastric cancer. In recent years, clinical studies have found that preoperative or intraoperative radiotherapy can effectively improve the resection rate and metastasis of gastric cancer. Treatment of gastric cancer, individual cases, radiotherapy can also be used to alleviate symptoms.
