Early gastric cancer generally does not recur

Early stage is just a relatively broad concept. If gastric cancer cells are confined to the mucosa and submucosal layer and do not break through the basement membrane, it is called carcinoma in situ, which is the earliest gastric cancer. Timely surgery can achieve a cure and generally will not recur. The specific probability of recurrence needs to be determined according to the location, size and pathological type of the lesion and cannot be generalized. Early gastric cancer refers to tumor cells that only involve the mucosa or submucosal layer.

What Chinese medicine should I take for advanced gastric cancer?

Advanced gastric cancer is incurable under current medical standards. Chinese medicine mainly plays a conditioning role. Some Chinese medicine ingredients have certain anti-tumor effects, which can be adjusted according to the patient's constitution and tongue coating and pulse. For these patients with advanced gastric cancer who have lost the opportunity for surgery, the gastric tumor may be relatively large, which often causes symptoms of indigestion. It is generally not recommended for patients with advanced gastric cancer to take medicine on their own.

Can surgery be performed on gastric stump cancer?

It is best not to have surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy for gastric cancer in the elderly over 70 years old, because it is particularly harmful to the elderly's body. You can choose conservative treatment or a combination of Chinese and Western medicine, but you should receive treatment as soon as possible and pay special attention to the treatment diet. Eat more light and digestible food. Pay more attention to rest during treatment and maintain a good mood. Advanced gastric cancer cannot be radically removed by surgery. Surgery can be tolerated, and the possibility of cure is very small. After surgery, adjuvant chemotherapy and targeted drug therapy are needed to control the tumor and prolong life, but it cannot be cured. Surgery for the residual stomach depends on the condition of the residual gastric cancer, as well as whether the surrounding organs have metastasized and whether the abdominal aorta has metastasized.
