How much does early treatment of gastric cancer cost

In the early stages of gastric cancer, the tumor needs to be removed surgically. If it is discovered in time and there is no metastasis or spread, there is a certain hope of cure after the operation. The cost of the operation is about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. Of course, this is affected by many factors, and there will be some differences in costs in different regions and hospitals. The cost of a simple operation is generally around 50,000 yuan if it is not reimbursed by medical insurance. If chemotherapy is combined, each cycle of chemotherapy is about 6,000 yuan. If six cycles are used, it is nearly 40,000 yuan in total. If only surgery and chemotherapy are performed, it will be nearly 100,000 yuan without reimbursement. If radiotherapy is added, it may cost 150,000 yuan. The treatment of early gastric cancer mainly refers to surgical treatment, and the cost is about 50,000 yuan.

How long can one usually live with advanced gastric cancer?

If you are a patient with advanced gastric cancer, multiple metastases, poor physical condition, inability to eat, weight loss, inability to tolerate various anti-tumor treatments, or have already received multiple anti-tumor treatments, the patient's survival time will be very short, often less than half a year may die. In general, the 5-year survival rate of advanced gastric cancer is less than 30%. If the patient's malignancy is relatively high and progresses rapidly, it is difficult for the survival time to exceed one year. Patients with advanced gastric cancer generally survive for about three months if not actively treated. Active treatment can extend the survival period by 1-3 years.

Is it OK to not have chemotherapy after gastric cancer surgery?

It is not possible to not have chemotherapy after gastric cancer surgery. The treatment of gastric cancer depends on the pathological grade and clinical stage of the tumor. Clinically, gastric cancer is divided into stages I to IV. Generally speaking, surgery is for patients in the second and third stages and the first stage. In the first stage, endoscopic resection can basically solve the problem. In the second and third stages, partial or complete resection of the stomach may be required. Patients with early tumor stages who have not reached the early stage of gastric cancer can use single-drug oral chemotherapy.
