Why does gastric cancer cause shortness of breath when walking?

1. Gastric cancer is a malignant tumor that can easily metastasize through the blood, lymph nodes and implants. At the same time, because cancer cells consume a lot of nutrients from the human body, it can easily lead to weight loss, cachexia, and multiple organ failure in the late stage. It is recommended to seek medical attention in time in the above situation. The doctor will take corresponding treatment measures according to the specific situation and actively cooperate with the treatment of professional doctors.

2. In the late stage of gastric cancer, the disease can no longer be controlled. If there is dyspnea, active investigation may be needed to check whether there is secondary pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, lung metastasis, heart failure, severe malnutrition, proteinemia, etc. Treatment should be combined with the clinical disease itself. Gastric cancer patients may experience chest tightness and shortness of breath.

How much does it cost to treat advanced gastric cancer?

Gastric cancer may be the most common malignant tumor in China, but most people find that it is not in the early stage, but in the middle and late stages. Surgery may be more difficult. The surgery is mainly radical gastrectomy, plus gastrointestinal reconstruction, and then adjuvant chemotherapy is also needed after surgery. The cost of surgery may vary in hospitals at different levels and in different regions. Generally speaking, the cost of a simple operation may be one thousand yuan, but the entire hospitalization may be between 80,000 yuan and 30,000 yuan. If it is laparoscopic-assisted gastric cancer surgery, the cost may be higher.

Of course, this also depends on the patient's postoperative recovery. If the hospital stay is long, the cost may be relatively high. The incidence of early gastric cancer has always been high, and the treatment effect will be very good. Patients in the middle and late stages should master the source of positive energy in regulating physiological functions.
