How long is the average survival period of patients with mid- to late-stage gastric cancer?

Its early clinical manifestations are atypical, and it is often in the middle or late stages when diagnosed. It is necessary to promptly select and formulate an individualized comprehensive treatment plan based on the tumor's pathological staging such as TNM and its biological characteristics. For example, the combination of surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, immunotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine treatment will help improve the long-term efficacy after surgery and prolong the patient's survival. How long patients with advanced gastric cancer can survive depends on the early or late stage of the tumor. When the tumor is found to be huge and lymph node metastasis and distant organ metastasis occur, it can be called advanced gastric cancer. Patients with advanced gastric cancer generally survive for about three months if they are not actively treated. Active treatment can extend their survival by 1-3 years.

Is stomach cancer hereditary?

Although clinical epidemiological statistics of gastric cancer show that there is a certain familial genetic susceptibility, that is, similar genetic genes, similar living and working environments are likely to induce the proliferation and malignant transformation of gastric mucosal epithelial cells to form gastric cancer. Gastric cancer has certain genetic properties. In my country, sporadic gastric cancer, that is, non-hereditary gastric cancer, accounts for the vast majority of the population. Gastric cancer has certain genetic properties.

How long can I live if I have vomiting blood and bloody stools in the late stage of gastric cancer?

If the diameter of the gastric cancer tumor is relatively large and located in the gastric antrum and other parts, it is easy to cause gastric retention, and the patient will have difficulty or even be unable to eat. At the same time, it is accompanied by liver or lung metastasis, which can easily cause lung infection, dyspnea, pleural effusion, ascites, jaundice, and lead to systemic failure of the patient, making it difficult to maintain life, which will not exceed one year. Gastric cancer is a common malignant tumor of the digestive system. Most of them are already in the middle and late stages when they are discovered. The main treatment methods are surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. If vomiting blood due to gastric cancer is treated comprehensively in a regular hospital, it is expected to be clinically cured and survive for a long time.
