What are the methods of early treatment of gastric cancer

summary

My grandmother found out early gastric cancer half a year ago, and then went to do cancer cell resection surgery, and did a few courses of radiotherapy. Recently, she had a cough after eating, couldn't drink water, and she was very thin. We were all very heartache. In order to prevent the same disease, let's understand the methods of early treatment for gastric cancer.

What are the methods of early treatment of gastric cancer

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

matters needing attention

Pay attention to iron supplement, because after gastrectomy, the effect of gastric acid on iron is lost, and trivalent iron becomes divalent iron, resulting in absorption disorder. You can take some iron orally under the guidance of your doctor. You should use iron pot in your daily life and eat more iron rich foods, such as animal liver, spinach, bean products, etc. It's also good to drink some yogurt.
