Surgery is the best treatment for cancer

Gastric cancer brings a lot of harm to our lives. For most patients, what they pay attention to is the treatment method of gastric cancer. What are the better treatment methods of gastric cancer ? Let’s take a look at the treatment methods of gastric cancer.

Surgery is the main treatment method for gastric cancer. Except for early gastric cancer, those with no lymph node metastasis, or those with a protrusion less than 2 cm, which can be treated with reduction surgery, other gastric cancers should be treated with radical surgery and lymph node exclusion.

After surgery, the patient's urine output and drainage tube should be carefully monitored. The amount of urine can determine the patient's respiratory function. The drainage tube is like a scout that can detect the wound recovery status. After the operation, if there is exudate and bleeding, consistent with oral bleeding or gastric bleeding, this drainage tube can be seen at a glance.

Chemotherapy as auxiliary: The treatment method of gastric cancer is mainly chemotherapy, and radiotherapy is rarely used. In the past, auxiliary chemotherapy was mostly performed after surgery, with the purpose of consolidating the surgical effect and inhibiting the surgical residue lesions and tumor cells. In recent years, preoperative chemotherapy, also called new auxiliary chemotherapy, is more advocated. That is, after the diagnosis of gastric cancer, it is not certain to have surgery immediately. Some chemotherapy drugs are given first to control and shrink the tumor, and then surgery is performed. The primary task of gastric cancer treatment is to improve the success rate of surgical resection. This is like the strategy of encircling but not fighting in the Northeast War, first control the tumor and lymph nodes, and finally encircle and annihilate them during surgery. So don't rush to have surgery after being diagnosed with gastric cancer.

Comprehensive treatment: The treatment of gastric cancer is the same as that of most other tumors. Comprehensive treatment measures should be adopted. Various methods should be coordinated and used reasonably to achieve the best effect. In addition to surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, there are also traditional Chinese medicine and immunotherapy, which can be used selectively to improve immunity and quality of life and reduce the risk of recurrence and metastasis.

Cherish recovery: As the saying goes, "30% of stomach disease is treated, and 70% is taken care of." Gastric cancer treatment is not over after surgery and chemotherapy. There is also a long-term recovery, follow-up and recovery process, which is very important for the patient's long-term survival. The first priority in gastric cancer treatment is to be too cautious in diet, not picky about food, but also do not drink or smoke. You can take some Chinese medicine appropriately to improve immunity. Then treat it with a normal attitude, exercise regularly, participate in group activities, and follow up regularly.
