What method can treat advanced gastric cancer
First of all: the treatment of gastric cancer should go to the regular professional hospital for examination and treatment, surgical treatment: This is the first choice for the treatment of gastric cancer, but also the fundamental method. Radical resection is feasible in early and middle stage cases, and palliative resection is feasible in late stage cases.
Second: chemotherapy: chemotherapy can be used as a protective treatment after surgery to eliminate residual cancer cells; it can also be used before and during surgery to improve the resection rate and reduce iatrogenic spread. For advanced cases, it can be used as a palliative means to delay the development of the disease.

Recent studies suggest that preoperative or intraoperative radiotherapy for some patients with gastric cancer can improve the resection rate and long-term effect. In some cases, radiotherapy can be used to relieve the symptoms.
