What method does advanced gastric cancer have

summary

My uncle has been diagnosed with gastric cancer for two years. When he was diagnosed, he was treated by surgery. Patients with gastric cancer must be treated as soon as possible. Now I will tell you about the treatment of advanced gastric cancer.

What method does advanced gastric cancer have

Treatment 1: most gastric cancer is adenocarcinoma with different degree of differentiation, so most gastric cancer cases are low sensitive or even insensitive to chemoradiotherapy. Although some progress has been made in the research of gastric cancer drugs in recent years, it can not fundamentally improve the prognosis of gastric cancer.

Treatment method 2: the treatment of gastric cancer is mainly surgery. At present, gastric cancer surgery includes traditional open surgery, laparoscopic surgery and endoscopic surgery. According to the purpose of treatment, it can be divided into radical surgery, palliative surgery, reduced surgery, etc.

Treatment 3: there are many radiation complications, even causing partial loss of function; for patients with advanced cancer, the effect of radiotherapy is not good. At the same time, for patients with poor constitution and older age, continued radiotherapy can only lead to more vulnerable life and accelerate the death of patients.

matters needing attention

The main purpose of neoadjuvant chemotherapy is to reduce the tumor load, improve the resection rate, and reduce the possibility of postoperative recurrence and metastasis. At present, studies have confirmed that neoadjuvant chemotherapy can improve the long-term survival rate of tumor patients.
