What are the symptoms of gastric cancer recurrence?

summary

If we have surgery in the early stage of gastric cancer, the recurrence rate after surgery can reach about 10%. Generally, it recurres after five years. In our country, the most common is the middle and advanced gastric cancer, with distant or near metastasis. At this time, if the operation is carried out, the recurrence rate is very high, and the recurrence time will be earlier, so we must adhere to the follow-up treatment after the operation, and share with you what kind of symptoms the recurrence of gastric cancer is.

What are the symptoms of gastric cancer recurrence?

We must understand some symptoms of recurrence of gastric cancer, because in this way we can effectively control the development of the disease. In our daily life, there will be many people who do not care too much after finding the symptoms and delay treatment. This is wrong. We must treat the recurrence of gastric cancer in time after finding the symptoms.

We must carry out some basic nursing for patients after gastric cancer surgery, so as to prevent recurrence of gastric cancer. When we have nausea and vomiting, hematemesis, indigestion, abdominal pain, black stool and other gastrointestinal symptoms, we must go to the hospital for examination and treatment.

The most common symptom of gastric cancer recurrence is upper abdominal discomfort, such as swelling, heaviness, and tired stomach pain. These symptoms are similar to those of gastritis and are likely to relieve themselves. Sometimes the symptoms are very similar to ulcer, and may be mistaken for duodenal ulcer.

matters needing attention

The recurrence of gastric cancer generally occurs within five years after surgery, especially within three years, but a small number of patients with recurrence will also appear five years after surgery. We must have a regular review.
