summary

I have loved pickled food since I was young. Two years ago, I was diagnosed with gastric cancer due to stomach discomfort. The treatment effect was very successful. Now it's not bad. Many gastric cancer patients don't want to have surgery after they get sick. Today, let me talk about the traditional Chinese medicine treatment of gastric cancer.

TCM treatment of 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.

matters needing attention

The clinical manifestations of gastric cancer are similar to gastritis or other common benign gastric diseases. It usually takes more than 2 years for early gastric cancer to develop into advanced gastric cancer, and most of early gastric cancer are accompanied by atrophic gastritis or ulcer disease and other background diseases.
