Experts will help you understand the symptoms and treatment of gastric antral adenocarcinoma

Antral adenocarcinoma is a common malignant tumor in gastric cancer, and most of its patients are elderly people over 50 years old. Antral adenocarcinoma has different types according to the pathological characteristics of the tumor. Different types of antral adenocarcinoma have different prognoses and treatments. I hope that readers can correctly face this disease through the knowledge of antral adenocarcinoma introduced below.

Antral adenocarcinoma can be divided into four types according to the macroscopic appearance: protruding type - the tumor is polypoid or umbrella-shaped; penetrating type - the tumor is clearly demarcated and may be ulcerated; disseminated type - the tumor spreads along the mucosal surface or infiltrates into the wall. If there is ulcer, its edge is unclear or accumulated. If the stomach wall is infiltrated by tumor and accompanied by fibrosis, a leathery stomach (sclerodermatous gastritis) may form; mixed type - has the characteristics of the other two types, and this type is the most numerous.

Experts say that the most effective way to diagnose gastric antral adenocarcinoma is to perform gastroscopy, biopsy, CT and B-ultrasound according to the patient's condition. If the patient's indicators meet the surgical criteria, surgery combined with tumor biological therapy can be used for treatment. Because simple surgery to treat cancer can only remove the tumor that has already formed, but cannot eliminate the cause of cancer formation, and cannot solve the problem of cancer recurrence, spread and metastasis after surgery. In addition, it causes damage to the patient's body tissues and loss of Qi and blood, making the patient's physique weak, which is easy to cause cancer recurrence, spread and metastasis of cancer cells.

The above is the basic classification and treatment of gastric antral adenocarcinoma. I hope that through the expert’s introduction, readers can have a basic understanding of gastric antral adenocarcinoma, so that they can detect and treat the disease in a timely manner.
