Is surgery necessary for early gastric cancer?

Early gastric cancer does not necessarily require surgery, but patients need to choose the right treatment plan. Because cancer is mainly detected and treated early, it can greatly improve its survival rate and reduce the probability of cancer recurrence. This is more normal. In the early stage, it is necessary to judge according to the actual situation, and simple treatment is OK.

1. Surgical treatment

Generally speaking, if patients with early gastric cancer choose surgery, they need to determine their own situation based on a comprehensive evaluation. The response of early gastric cancer is more obvious, and the distribution of cancer cells is also more limited. If the patient has early gastric cancer at this time, the situation is limited to the mucosa, or the shallow layer of the submucosa, and it can be peeled off through endoscopy. It can be recovered. But if the patient has developed to the submucosal layer, the best advice is to choose surgery for treatment. The treatment effect is very good.

2. Other conditions of early-stage cancer

For patients with early gastric cancer, the most serious situation is that the cancer tissue is mainly confined to the submucosal layer. Regardless of whether the lymph nodes are metastatic, surgery can be performed. There are many surgical methods. Such as laparotomy, laparoscopy, local gastrectomy, minimally invasive mucosal resection, etc. can all be used. Regardless of the surgical method, the survival rate of early gastric cancer is very high. Most patients have a high survival rate within three years, and the five-year survival rate can reach 90%, which is relatively high in cancer treatment.

3. Precautions for patients with gastric cancer

The best advice is that patients with gastric cancer must pay attention to early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment. If early patients pay attention to these and go to the hospital for treatment in time, the survival rate can be greatly improved. As long as the cancer patient is more than five years old, the possibility of recurrence of gastric cancer is reduced, or even no attack, which can ensure that the patient is completely cured. However, if the patient is more serious, it will directly lead to an increase in the possibility of recurrence within three or five years, which is more serious. The treatment effect is not so good.
