Do you know the treatment of gastric cancer

First, 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. 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 and so on.

Second: chemotherapy. It can be used to prolong the survival time 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. Adjuvant chemotherapy should be performed for patients with the following conditions: pathological type, high degree of malignancy, tumor area greater than 5 cm, multiple tumor, and malignant tumor;

Third: other treatments. Including radiotherapy, hyperthermia, immunotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Immunotherapy for gastric cancer includes non-specific biological response modulators such as BCG and lentinan; cytokines such as interleukin, interferon and tumor necrosis factor; and adoptive immunotherapy such as LAK and til. Antiangiogenic gene is a widely studied gene therapy method, which may play a role in the treatment of gastric cancer.
