Can Traditional Chinese Medicine Cure Gastric Cancer

We say that Chinese medicine cannot cure gastric cancer. The diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer is a comprehensive treatment that requires the combination of modern medical surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted and even immune treatments, combined with Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal medicine, which can enable patients to achieve better control or even cure. Gastric cancer cannot be cured by Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal medicine alone. It can be determined by combining abdominal CT or MRI examinations. When choosing Chinese medicine technology to regulate gastric tumors, decoctions are generally required, but the principle of dialectical essence must be selected. The Chinese medicine treatment of gastric cancer is mainly based on symptoms.

Is it possible to live for 5 years with advanced gastric cancer?

Gastric cancer will affect the patient's life span, but how long the patient can live depends on the patient's actual situation. The five-year survival rate of gastric cancer in stage I is 100%, 70% in stage II, and 20% in stage III. Therefore, for gastric cancer, the earlier it is discovered and the more timely the treatment, the greater the chance of prolonging life. Patients with advanced gastric cancer have already spread and need combined chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted drug therapy, biological therapy, stem cell transplantation therapy, pdy therapy, etc. As long as the growth, development and spread of the tumor can be controlled, the patient can survive with the tumor and prolong life. Gastric cancer will affect the patient's life span, but how long the patient can live depends on the patient's actual situation.

Cost of total gastrectomy for gastric cancer

It is often necessary to make an incision in the patient's epigastric area to remove all gastric tissue and gastric tumors, which is relatively traumatic to the patient and also involves certain risks. Therefore, the cost of the operation is relatively high, about 30,000 yuan, which also includes preoperative examinations, surgical costs, and some anti-inflammatory drugs after surgery. The cost of total gastrectomy for gastric cancer needs to be comprehensively judged based on the method and type of surgery, the conditions used during the operation, and the postoperative recovery. It is uncertain how much total gastrectomy for gastric cancer will cost, which needs to be determined based on different local charges and the severity of the patient's condition.
