Gastric cancer stage III survival rate

Survival rate of gastric cancer stage III

1. Patients with stage III gastric cancer have tumors that have spread to the serosa and adjacent organs, and have regional lymph node metastasis. In this case, they can only survive for 1-2 years, and each person is absolutely different. Recurrence or metastasis is very likely to occur one year after surgery. Therefore, systemic intravenous chemotherapy is needed after surgery to prevent the chance of recurrence. At the same time, they should also pay attention to increasing dietary nutrition, strengthening their physical fitness, and undergoing gastroscopy examinations. They should avoid overwork and staying up late, and maintain a regular diet.

2. But it is also related to many factors, including the biological behavior of malignant tumors, especially the pathological classification of mucinous or undifferentiated type, positive neurovascular infiltration, and the high chance of recurrence and metastasis even if the patient is in stage II. It is also related to the patient's mood, genes, nutrition, chemotherapy regimen, whether immunotherapy is used, etc. If gastric cancer reaches stage III, it means that the situation of gastric cancer is relatively serious.

In the late stage of gastric cancer, gastric bleeding leads to anemia

Generally speaking, if gastric cancer is in the late stage and there is no chance for surgery, but treatment cannot be given up. Systemic chemotherapy or targeted drug therapy should still be performed, which can delay tumor progression, metastasis and deterioration, and prolong survival time.

The main reasons for anemia in patients are the rapid growth of tumors, which consume nutrients and cause anemia, and chronic bleeding in the digestive tract, which can also cause anemia. In the late stage of cancer, there is a situation of systemic metastasis.
