The main nursing measures for gastric cancer

The surgery for gastric cancer patients is usually a partial or complete gastrectomy. After the surgery, the patient needs to fast and not drink water, and a gastric tube is inserted. When caring for gastric cancer patients, it is necessary to pay attention to observe the properties of the fluid flowing out of the gastric tube every day.

If gastric cancer patients can move independently, they need to be cared for in terms of diet and psychological adjustment. The incidence of gastric cancer has always been high, which is related to irregular daily diet and chronic inflammatory stimulation.

What causes stomach cancer?

The main causes of gastric cancer are as follows: for patients who already suffer from chronic gastric inflammation, atrophic gastritis, dysplastic lesions in the stomach, etc.

The occurrence of gastric cancer is a multifactorial and progressive process. If the proliferation and apoptosis of epithelial cells lose balance, carcinogenic genes will be activated, which may gradually develop into gastric cancer. People who like to eat pickled foods and take in too much nitrite in their bodies are also at a high risk of developing gastric cancer.

How to diagnose gastric cancer?

Gastric cancer is a common malignant tumor of the digestive system in clinical practice. The occurrence of this disease is related to the combined effects of multiple factors. Pathological histological examination is required to diagnose gastric cancer, and pathological examination is the gold standard for diagnosing cancer.
