How can stomach cancer be treated?

Gastric cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the digestive tract. The incidence of gastric cancer varies greatly in different countries and regions. China is a high-incidence area for gastric cancer, with the highest incidence in the northwest region, and the detection rate of gastric cancer has been increasing year by year. The treatment of gastric cancer has also attracted much attention.

The main treatments for gastric cancer include surgical resection, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine. Surgical resection is a more important method of treating gastric cancer. Laparotomy should be performed as long as the patient's general condition allows and there is no distant metastasis. There are three main surgical methods for gastric cancer, namely radical resection, palliative resection, and short-circuit surgery.

Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are also widely used in the treatment of gastric cancer. The main chemotherapy methods for gastric cancer are single-agent chemotherapy and combined chemotherapy. The effect of combined chemotherapy is better than that of single-agent chemotherapy. Generally speaking, preoperative chemotherapy can improve the efficacy of surgical treatment; intraoperative chemotherapy is one of the important measures to prevent iatrogenic spread; postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy can prevent recurrence to a certain extent, and its efficacy is better than that of simple surgery.

Although the surgical, radiotherapy and chemotherapy techniques for the treatment of gastric cancer are constantly developing and have a more direct effect on the treatment of gastric cancer, the disadvantage of causing harm to the human body during the treatment process still exists, which will bring difficulties to the subsequent treatment of gastric cancer patients.
