Common surgical methods for treating cardiac cancer

Although there are many medical methods for treating cardiac cancer, surgical treatment of cardiac cancer has always been the first choice of many doctors. So what are the methods of surgical treatment of cardiac cancer? The following will tell you about the methods of surgical treatment of cardiac cancer.

In general, common surgical treatments for cardiac cancer include:

Remove the tumor and prevent or relieve the stenosis and obstruction of the cardia, prolong the patient's life or achieve cure. Try to ensure that there is no tumor tissue left at the margin of the esophagus and stomach after the primary tumor is removed, and reduce the cancer recurrence rate at the surgical margin after surgery. Thoroughly clean the suspicious drainage area or local lymph nodes. Different surgical procedures:

1. Proximal subtotal gastrectomy, the proximal gastric tissue between the lower end of the esophagus, the spleen and the midpoint of the lower 1/3 of the lesser curvature to the midpoint of the greater curvature of the stomach, and esophago-gastric anastomosis are performed to achieve the purpose of treating cardiac cancer.

2. Extended proximal subtotal gastrectomy is a common surgical procedure for the treatment of cardiac cancer. It includes the above range plus the distal pancreas (en bloc resection), clearing the lymph nodes around the celiac artery, and performing esophagogastric anastomosis.

3. Total gastrectomy, which involves the lower end of the esophagus, the entire stomach, the duodenal bulb, the spleen, the greater omentum and the lesser omentum, and the jejunum is anastomosed to the proximal end of the esophagus. This is also a common method for treating cardiac cancer.

4. Extended total gastrectomy, which includes the above-mentioned area plus the distal pancreas (en bloc resection), clearing the lymph nodes around the celiac artery, and performing esophagogastric anastomosis, is also a common surgical procedure for the treatment of cardiac cancer.

The above is an introduction to the common surgical treatment methods for cardiac cancer. I believe everyone has some understanding of this. Patients should choose the treatment method for cardiac cancer that suits them according to their actual condition.
