Experts introduce detailed treatment guidelines for gastric cancer

The treatment of gastric cancer has always been studied by experts and is also the most concerned issue for patients. So, what are the specific contents of the gastric cancer treatment guidelines? Let the experts introduce the gastric cancer treatment guidelines in detail.

The treatment of gastric cancer is a multidisciplinary standardized treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, biological therapy and traditional Chinese medicine treatment, as well as supportive symptomatic treatment. Among them, surgery is the most important and primary treatment method, especially for early gastric cancer, surgery is the only way to achieve a radical cure. In recent years, the resection rate, radical resection rate, and survival rate of gastric cancer surgery in my country have all improved to a certain extent, and the incidence and mortality of surgical complications have been greatly reduced. However, surgical treatment alone is far from enough. The early diagnosis rate of gastric cancer in my country is low, with the detection rate of stage I accounting for only 10%. The recurrence and metastasis rate after radical surgery is as high as 40%-60%. About 40% of gastric cancer patients have lost the opportunity for surgical resection and cure when diagnosed.

The internationally recognized gastric cancer treatment guidelines point out that surgery is the main treatment method for patients with resectable gastric cancer who are in good physical condition; for patients with localized gastric cancer who are in good physical condition but whose tumors cannot be removed or who are in poor physical condition, radiotherapy and combined treatment with capecitabine-based radiosensitizers are recommended; and for patients with metastatic gastric cancer, chemotherapy is the main treatment method. Psychological factors play an irreplaceable role in the entire treatment and rehabilitation process of patients. Negative emotions can reduce the body's immune function, thereby weakening the immune system's ability to identify and kill cancer cells; on the contrary, good emotions can balance and improve the body's immune function, keeping cancer cells in a self-limiting state, and hopefully being eliminated by the body's immune system.

The above is the treatment guide for gastric cancer. I hope it will be helpful for your treatment. Experts remind patients to face gastric cancer with an optimistic attitude and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment.
