How to treat gastric cancer

First, surgical treatment, (1) the principle of radical operation is to remove part or all of the stomach including the cancer focus and the gastric wall that may be infiltrated, remove the lymph nodes around the stomach and reconstruct the digestive tract according to the clinical staging standard. (2) palliative surgery can not remove the primary focus, in order to reduce the symptoms caused by obstruction, perforation, bleeding and other complications, such as gastrojejunostomy, jejunostomy, perforation repair, etc.

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: some adjuvant treatment, such as surgery, chemotherapy after taking Chinese medicine.
