As the disease progresses, the pain becomes more severe and attacks become more frequent, accompanied by loss of appetite, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, warm and acid reflux, and heartburn.

Diet therapy for gastric cancer

(1) It is advisable to eat more foods that can enhance immunity and resist gastric cancer, such as yam, lentils, coix seed, water chestnut, day lily, shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms, sunflower seeds, kiwi fruit, figs, apples, etc.

(2) It is advisable to eat more high-nutrition foods to prevent and treat cachexia, such as black-bone chicken, pigeon, quail, beef, pork, rabbit meat, eggs, duck, fermented black beans, tofu, silver carp, grass carp, etc.

(3) Avoid foods that are moldy, contaminated, hard, rough, high in fiber, greasy, sticky, and indigestible. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, such as onions, garlic, ginger, peppers, chili peppers, cinnamon, etc.

For patients with early gastric cancer, it mainly depends on whether appropriate treatment is taken in time. Generally speaking, early-stage gastric tumors are small and have not spread or metastasized. The most effective treatment is surgical resection. The 5-year survival rate after resection of early-stage gastric tumors can reach about 80%. After surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine and other treatments can be used for a certain period of time to prevent recurrence.
