Signs of death in the late stage of gastric cancer What are the symptoms in the late stage

What are the signs of death from advanced gastric cancer?

1. The signs of death in the late stage of gastric cancer usually include cachexia, extreme weight loss, bleeding, and gastrointestinal bleeding, which is usually small in amount. Large amounts of bleeding are relatively rare.

2. About 5% of patients may experience severe bleeding, manifested as vomiting blood and/or black stools, which are occasionally the first symptoms. Dizziness, palpitations, tarry stools, and vomiting of coffee-colored substances may occur. When gastric cancer metastasizes to the abdominal cavity and compresses the common bile duct, jaundice and clay-colored stools may occur.

3. Combined with pyloric obstruction, which is more common in gastric cancer originating from the pylorus and cardia. When gastric cancer at the gastric fundus extends to the cardia or esophagus, it causes obstruction of the lower end of the esophagus. Tumors near the pylorus are prone to pyloric obstruction. Vomiting may occur, and the upper abdomen may see an expanded stomach shape and hear a splashing sound. Diffuse peritonitis caused by cancer perforation is less common than benign ulcers.

4. It can be seen in ulcerative gastric cancer, mostly in ulcerative cancer of the pyloric precursor. When the perforation is not covered by adhesions, it can cause peritonitis. Peritoneal irritation symptoms such as abdominal muscle stiffness and abdominal tenderness may occur.

5. Most patients in the late stage have systemic failure, difficulty eating, and loss of appetite. They should eat more fresh pomegranates, fresh hawthorns, etc. You can also use appropriate amounts of orange peel, pepper, ginger, rock sugar, and chicken gizzards to make a decoction for consumption.

6. Patients with cachexia should be given more protein foods, such as milk, eggs, goose meat, goose blood, lean pork, beef, fresh vegetables, fruits, etc. Glutinous rice porridge should be cooked thoroughly. After surgery, attention should be paid to preventing dumping syndrome and hypoglycemia syndrome after gastric cancer surgery.

7. The main symptom of the drug addiction is upper abdominal discomfort, abdominal distension and pain, nausea, vomiting, intestinal rumbling, diarrhea, general fatigue, dizziness, sweating, palpitations, facial flushing, and even collapse 10 to 20 minutes after eating sweet liquids, such as sweetened milk.
