Be alert to complications of gastric cancer

First, the complications of gastric cancer patients are upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The clinical symptoms include hematemesis, black stool, dizziness, palpitation, brown vomit, tarry stool and so on. Obstructive jaundice. When the common bile duct is compressed due to abdominal metastasis of gastric cancer, obstructive jaundice may appear, and the patient's stool is clay colored. 　

Second, the clinical complication of gastric cancer patients is pyloric obstruction. It is more common in gastric cancer patients originated from pylorus. When the cancer occurs at the bottom of the stomach and extends to the cardia or esophagus, it can cause obstruction at the lower end of the esophagus. The tumor adjacent to the pylorus is easy to cause pylorus obstruction. The patient may show frequent vomiting, and the signs may include upper abdomen stomach type, shock water sound, etc. 　　

Third, the clinical complications of gastric cancer patients and diffuse peritonitis. The possibility of diffuse peritonitis caused by perforation of gastric cancer is less than that of benign ulcer. It is only seen in ulcerative gastric cancer, especially in ulcerative carcinoma of pyloric precursor. Peritonitis can be caused when the perforation is not covered by adhesion. Physical examination showed abdominal muscle plate stiffness, abdominal tenderness and other peritoneal irritation signs.
