Clinical symptoms of gastric cancer to hepatocellular carcinoma

summary

My grandmother is a patient with gastric cancer, before the stomach is not very good, often feel indigestion, will feel acid regurgitation abdominal distension phenomenon, later went to the hospital to do the examination, found that it is advanced gastric cancer, and has metastasized, many patients with gastric cancer in the early stage and no obvious symptoms, late metastasis was found, now share some metastatic liver cancer Knowledge of cancer.

Clinical symptoms of gastric cancer to hepatocellular carcinoma

First of all, it is very easy for gastric cancer metastasis to invade liver cancer and lymph nodes. The lymph node metastasis rate of gastric cancer is positively correlated with the depth of invasion. Lymph node metastasis of gastric cancer is usually gradual, but skip lymph node metastasis can also occur, that is, there is no metastasis in the first station and metastasis in the second station. The end-stage gastric cancer can be transferred to the left supraclavicular lymph node through the thoracic duct, or to the umbilicus through the ligamentum teres hepatis.

Secondly, the reason of metastasis from gastric cancer to liver cancer is that lymphatic capillaries are dilated. Therefore, its permeability is large, and foreign bodies and tumor cells are easy to pass through. The stomach is located in the middle part of the trunk, where there is a thoracic duct, which is the return route of three-quarters of the lymph in the whole body. The lymphatic vessels in the trunk are also very rich, so it is very easy to spread.

Finally, we often have to check the body. Nearly half of the patients with early gastric cancer have no clinical symptoms, only some have mild dyspepsia and other symptoms, such as epigastric pain and discomfort, mild fullness, pain, nausea, belching, etc. these symptoms are not unique to gastric cancer. They can be seen in chronic gastritis, ulcer disease, functional dyspepsia, and even in normal people occasionally.

matters needing attention

Many patients with early gastric cancer do not know that they are ill and think that it is common physical discomfort. Loss of appetite may be the early symptom of gastric cancer, and it is not accompanied by symptoms of stomach pain. If the symptoms of stomach pain appear at the same time and hepatitis can be ruled out, it should be paid more attention. Some patients have abdominal distension and belching after eating and automatically limit their daily diet, resulting in weight loss and emaciation and fatigue.
