Postoperative recurrence rate of gastric cancer in the middle and late stages

At this time, after simple surgical treatment, due to malnutrition, reduced systemic immunity and drug resistance, poor nutritional status, and reduced healing and repair ability, the postoperative recurrence rate of patients with advanced gastric cancer is high. Patients with mid-stage gastric cancer usually need radical surgery. There is a possibility of recurrence of gastric cancer after surgery. If the cancer cells are killed, it is usually not easy to recur.

Potential complications after gastric cancer surgery

There are also some special complications after gastric cancer surgery called dumping syndrome, which is the occurrence of hypoglycemia after surgery. There are many potential complications after gastric cancer surgery, including: abdominal bleeding. If gastric cancer occurs in the pyloric area, it can cause symptoms of pyloric obstruction, such as inability to eat, nausea, and vomiting.
