Can gastric cancer be treated without chemotherapy after operation
summary
There is an elder in my family who has suffered from gastric cancer for several years, and has been actively receiving treatment. Recently, he has had surgery and recovered fairly well. When he went to the hospital a few days ago, his physical condition has improved significantly. Today, let me talk about the possibility of no chemotherapy after gastric cancer surgery.
Can gastric cancer be treated without chemotherapy after operation
First: surgical treatment: it is still the only effective treatment for gastric cancer. Radiotherapy: it is not helpful for the patients who are not suitable for resection, because the anatomical location can not be carried out. Radiotherapy can relieve the symptoms of obstruction and chronic bleeding of unresectable lesions. Chemotherapy: advanced gastric cancer, surgery with chemotherapy; postoperative recurrence is suitable for the application of immunochemotherapy. In the treatment of gastric cancer, the principle of individualization should be followed.
Second: other methods can be used instead of chemotherapy. After chemotherapy, patients with gastric cancer will have more serious nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, hair loss, decreased immunity, and prone to various infection symptoms. Surgery is a common method for the treatment of tumor, but it is easy to recur and metastasize after operation, so it is very important to do adjuvant treatment after operation. The side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy are relatively large, so biotherapy can be used to make up for the traditional disadvantages and effectively improve the quality of life.
Third: if the prognosis of gastric cancer is better and the risk of recurrence is lower, chemotherapy is recommended. If patients can not tolerate the side effects of chemotherapy, the course of treatment can be reduced, or biological selenium supplement can be used to regulate the body of patients, mainly through selenium Weikang chewable tablets. Elemental selenium can effectively degrade the side effects of chemotherapy, maintain the stability of leukocytes, and activate patients Immune function, enhance its tolerance to chemotherapy.
