How long can one live without treatment for gastric cancer in the middle and late stages?

How long a patient with gastric cancer can live in the middle and late stages mainly depends on the patient's age, physical condition, mentality, pathological classification of cancer, treatment effect, and whether there is recurrence in the later stages. This is a malignant tumor. For patients with gastric cancer, if there is no metastasis in the middle stage, surgery is recommended. The conservative treatment effect is generally not good, and chemotherapy is also difficult to completely cure. If surgery is possible, surgery is recommended, and there is a chance of complete cure with chemotherapy after surgery. The specific survival time of gastric cancer in the middle and late stages without surgery needs to be determined according to the patient's physical condition. If the patient is in good physical condition, the survival time is relatively long, generally about one year.

What causes stomach cancer?

Gastric cancer patients often have upper abdominal pain, lack of appetite, weight loss and other symptoms. There are many causative factors, the most common of which are Helicobacter pylori infection and long-term untreated ulcers, residual stomach that has been removed due to benign diseases, family history of close relatives, long-term smoking and drinking, and poor diet. It is recommended that you must actively treat stomach problems, control your diet, and avoid pickled, smoked and grilled foods. It may also be due to long-term bad eating habits, such as liking to eat smoked and pickled foods, which often generate carcinogens such as benzopyrene when they are remanufactured. Gastric cancer is a common digestive tract malignancy in my country. Gastric cancer is highly prevalent in the northwest and southeast coastal areas of my country, with low incidence in Guangdong, Guangxi and Guizhou.

Can minimally invasive resection of early gastric cancer cure the disease?

The condition of patients with early gastric cancer is relatively mild, and the tumor mainly occurs in the mucosa or submucosal layer. After minimally invasive resection, most patients can achieve clinical cure without chemotherapy. The cancer cells of patients with early gastric cancer are confined to the 1-2 layers of the patient's stomach. Generally, radical resection of the stomach under gastroscopy can achieve a cure. Whether surgery or minimally invasive surgery is better for early gastric cancer needs to be decided based on the patient's specific condition.
