summary

My grandfather is suffering from gastric cancer. He is still in poor health after surgery. During this period of time, he always has a fever. It's no use taking anti fever drugs. Let me share the knowledge about why patients with gastric cancer have a fever.

Why does gastric cancer patient have a fever

First, gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in China. Incidence rate of cancer is the highest in all kinds of tumors in China. About 170 thousand people die from gastric cancer every year. It is almost 1/4 of all malignant tumor deaths. And more than 20 thousand new gastric cancer patients are coming out every year. Gastric cancer is indeed a serious disease threatening people's health.

Second, the long-term fever of patients with gastric cancer may be due to the long-term treatment and consumption of cancer itself, which leads to the decline of body resistance and makes the body vulnerable to infection, such as lung and urinary system.

Third, the cause of fever in patients with gastric cancer is the growth of cancer cells, insufficient blood supply, necrosis and shedding can also cause inflammatory reaction, causing fever. In the second case, antipyretic drugs have little effect.

matters needing attention

The fever of patients with gastric cancer is caused by cancer. Anti inflammatory drugs can not be used for the fever caused by such cancer. It is suggested that traditional Chinese and Western medicine should be used for treatment, so the effect may be better. Mild fever is related to the stimulation of cancer. Severe fever needs to consider the possibility of concurrent infection, and timely diagnosis and treatment in hospital.
